Abstract
The development of facial pressure injury (PI) during prone position is frequently described. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of patients with facial PIs increased. This quality improvement project describes the effectiveness of using silicone adhesive multilayer foams for preventing facial PIs in COVID-19 patients in need of prone position therapy. After introduction of foam dressing on chin and forehead to the standard protocol procedures for PI prevention, the decrease in number of patients developing facial PIs was statistically significant. Based on these results, the use of silicone adhesive multilayer foam will be implemented as a standard procedure for facial PIs prevention.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of the Intensive Care Society (JICS) is an international, peer-reviewed journal that strives to disseminate clinically and scientifically relevant peer-reviewed research, evaluation, experience and opinion to all staff working in the field of intensive care medicine. Our aim is to inform clinicians on the provision of best practice and provide direction for innovative scientific research in what is one of the broadest and most multi-disciplinary healthcare specialties. While original articles and systematic reviews lie at the heart of the Journal, we also value and recognise the need for opinion articles, case reports and correspondence to guide clinically and scientifically important areas in which conclusive evidence is lacking. The style of the Journal is based on its founding mission statement to ‘instruct, inform and entertain by encompassing the best aspects of both tabloid and broadsheet''.
