Risk of Pressure Injury (PI) in Operative and Procedure Areas

Presented by 

• Suzy Scott MSN, RN, WOC Nurse

Join us for a webinar to uncover current trends surrounding Perioperative Pressure Injuries (PPI), emphasizing the growing need for targeted intervention. We will explore key components of an effective Perioperative Pressure Injury Prevention Program (PPIPP) designed to reduce risk in surgical and procedural settings. We will also examine commonly used surgical positions and medical devices to minimize injury. 

Objectives:

• Identify trends in risk assessment, prevention, incidence, costs and legal costs for Perioperative Pressure Injuries (PPI).
• Illustrate components of a Perioperative Pressure Injury Prevention Program (PPIPP) to reduce the risk of PI in the surgical and procedure areas.
  
• Describe the commonly used surgical positions, medical devices and associated pressure points, along with their impact on tissue deformation as risk factors for positioning injuries.
