Risk of Pressure Injury in Operative and Procedure Areas
Undergoing any operative procedure can place a patient at higher risk of pressure injury development. Depending on time, position and vital parameters, a patient's skin injury may not be apparent for several days post-op. During this webinar, you will learn to identify patients' risk factors as well as common surgical positions and instrumentation and devices used during this phase of care that increase risk. Interventions to reduce the risk to your patients in a structured perioperative pressure injury prevention program will be discussed.
