Prevalence, associated factors and outcomes of pressure injuries in adult intensive care unit patients: the DecubICUs study

Funder: European Society of Intensive Care Medicine; doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100013347Funder: Flemish Society for Critical Care NursesAbstract: Purpose: Intensive care unit (ICU) patients are particularly susceptible to developing pressure injuries. Epidemiologic data is however unavailable. We aimed to provide an international picture of the extent of pressure injuries and factors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries in adult ICU patients. Methods: International 1-day point-prevalence study; follow-up for outcome assessment until hospital discharge (maximum 12 weeks). Factors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injury and hospital mortality were assessed by generalised linear mixed-effects regression analysis. Results: Data from 13,254 patients in 1117 ICUs (90 countries) revealed 6747 pressure injuries; 3997 (59.2%) were ICU-acquired. Overall prevalence was 26.6% (95% confidence interval [CI] 25.9–27.3). ICU-acquired prevalence was 16.2% (95% CI 15.6–16.8). Sacrum (37%) and heels (19.5%) were most affected. Factors independently associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries were older age, male sex, being underweight, emergency surgery, higher Simplified Acute Physiology Score II, Braden score 3 days, comorbidities (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, immunodeficiency), organ support (renal replacement, mechanical ventilation on ICU admission), and being in a low or lower-middle income-economy. Gradually increasing associations with mortality were identified for increasing severity of pressure injury: stage I (odds ratio [OR] 1.5; 95% CI 1.2–1.8), stage II (OR 1.6; 95% CI 1.4–1.9), and stage III or worse (OR 2.8; 95% CI 2.3–3.3). Conclusion: Pressure injuries are common in adult ICU patients. ICU-acquired pressure injuries are associated with mainly intrinsic factors and mortality. Optimal care standards, increased awareness, appropriate resource allocation, and further research into optimal prevention are pivotal to tackle this important patient safety threat

Ensayo clínico aleatorizado controlado que compara la formación presencial frente a la no presencial en el aprendizaje teórico de la reanimación cardiopulmonar entre los estudiantes de secundaria

Objetivo. Comparar la formación presencial, mediante una clase teórica, frente a la formación no presencial, con un método audiovisual con y sin refuerzo posterior, en el aprendizaje teórico del soporte vital básico (SVB) y el desfibrila- dor externo automático (DEA) entre los estudiantes de secundaria. Método. Se llevó a cabo un ensayo clínico aleatorizado que incluyó a 2.225 estudiantes de secundaria procedentes de 15 centros educativos que fueron asignados al azar a uno de los siguientes cinco grupos: 1) Grupo formación pre- sencial sin refuerzo; 2) Grupo formación presencial con refuerzo; 3) Grupo formación audiovisual sin refuerzo; 4) Gru- po formación audiovisual con refuerzo; 5) Grupo control. Se realizó un test sobre aspectos teóricos del SVB y DEA an- tes, después y a los 2 meses de la estrategia formativa. Resultados. Los resultados mostraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en todos los grupos, excepto el grupo control, entre la puntuación obtenida en el test basal 2,33 (RIC 2,17) y el test inmediato 5,33 (RIC 4,66) (p < 0,001), y entre el test basal y el test final 6,00 (RIC 3,33) (p < 0,001). No hubo diferencias en el aprendizaje inmediato y a los 2 meses entre los diferentes tipos de formaciones. Conclusión. No se encontraron diferencias entre la formación presencial mediante charlas teóricas y la formación no presencial con método audiovisual en el aprendizaje teórico inmediato y a los dos meses en el aprendizaje teórico del SVB y el DEA entre los estudiantes de secundaria.Enfermerí

La realidad virtual como método de enseñanza de la reanimación cardiopulmonar: un estudio aleatorizado

Objetivos. Analizar la eficacia de la realidad virtual (RV) en la formación en reanimación cardiopulmonar (RCP). Método. Estudio experimental, analítico, transversal para analizar el aprendizaje en RCP a través de la RV, en el que los participantes fueron asignados aleatoriamente en grupo control (GC) y grupo RV (GRV). Resultados. La nota del test fue de GRV fue 9,28 (DE 0,91) y el de GC 7,78 (DE 1,63) [diferencia de medias 1,49 (IC95% 0,96-2,02), p < 0,001]. El ritmo medio de las compresiones fue 97,5 (DE 9,7) compresiones/min para el GRV y 80,9 (DE 7,7) compresiones/min para el GC [diferencia de medias 16,6 (IC95% 15,0-18,2), p = 0,003]. La profundi- dad media fue 34,0 (DE 6,5) mm para el GRV y 27,3 (DE 4,9) mm para el GC [diferencia de medias 6,7 (IC95% 5,7- 7,8), p < 0,001]. Conclusión. La RV es un método de enseñanza de RCP capaz de mejorar los conocimientos teóricos y habilidades prácticas.Enfermerí
