Background: The nurse is the figure who is personally involved in the prevention and management of pressure injuries, including those resulting from medical devices. The nurse must be trained and updated on the best methods and materials for the prevention of this type of injury. Aim: The aim of this review is to identify the most effective materials and devices to prevent or reduce the occurrence of pressure injuries derived from medical devices, as well as to identify the actions that nurses can implement to avoid or limit their worsening. Materials and Methods: International databases were used in this thesis , using search strings derived from the use of the PIO strategy . A total of 1784 articles were collected, of which 12 were selected for this review. Inclusion criteria included only a population aged 18 years or older, articles published within the last 10 years, present abstract and full text option available. Results and conclusions: 12 articles were selected, including 1 Meta-analysis, 3 RCTs, 3 literature reviews, 2 experimental studies, 2 cross-sectional studies and 1 systematic review. Among the preventive measures, constant monitoring of risk areas and frequent repositioning of devices were highly rated in prevention of pressure injuries, while as regards medication, those of polyurethane foam have proven to be the most effective solution for preventing injuries caused by medical devices, providing superior protection against pressure exerted on the skin and reducing friction, helping to preserve skin integrity.
Background: L’infermiere è la figura che si occupa in prima persona della prevenzione e gestione delle lesione da pressione, tra queste troviamo anche quelle derivate da device medici. La figura dell’infermiere in tal senso, deve essere formata e aggiornata su quelli che sono i metodi e materiali migliori per la prevenzione di questo tipo di lesioni. Obiettivo: Questa revisione ha l’obiettivo di individuare i materiali e i dispositivi più efficaci per prevenire o ridurre l’insorgenza delle lesioni da pressione derivate da device medici, oltre a identificare le azioni che il personale sanitario può mettere in atto per evitare o limitare il peggioramento delle stesse. Materiali e Metodi: In questa tesi sono state utilizzate le banche dati internazionali , utilizzando le stringhe di ricerca derivate dall’utilizzo della strategia PIO . Sono stati raccolti 1784 articoli , di questi ne sono stati selezionati 12 utili per questa revisione. I criteri di inclusione includevano esclusivamente una popolazione con un’età uguale o maggiore di 18 anni, articoli pubblicati negli ultimi 10 anni, presenti di abstract e opzione full text disponibile. Risultati e conclusioni: Sono stati selezionati 12 articoli, tra i quali 1 Meta analisi, 3 RCT, 3 revisioni di letteratura, 2 studi sperimentali, 2 studi trasversali e 1 revisione sistematica. Tra le misure preventive, il monitoraggio costante delle aree a rischio e il riposizionamento frequente dei dispositivi hanno avuto un ottimo riscontro nella prevenzione delle lesioni da pressione, mentre per quanto riguarda le medicazioni, quelle in schiuma di poliuretano si sono dimostrate la soluzione più efficace per prevenire lesioni causate dai dispositivi medici, fornendo una protezione superiore contro le pressioni esercitate sulla pelle e riducendo l'attrito, contribuendo a preservare l'integrità cutanea.
