Abstract:
Non-invasive mechanical ventilation(NIV)is increasingly being used as a respiratory support technique in clinical practice.However,the pressure-related injuries should not be overlooked.In order to prevent local pressure injuries caused by NIV technology,a series of preventive measures have been adopted in clinical work.These measures include the use of dressings to provide pressure relief to the local skin.Currently,in clinical practice,when using preventive dressings,nurses need to cut them themselves based on the physiological structure of the patient's nose,forehead,or face.However,precise cutting can be challenging.If the dressing is cut too small,it may not provide adequate prevention,and if it's cut too large,it can cover too much skin,affecting the nurse's observation and the patient's comfort.Additionally,during NIV treatment,the preventive dressings used may become curled or displaced,requiring nurses to re-cut and replace them.This process inevitably leads to material wastage,increasing the cost of dressing use for patients.Moreover,the cutting tools used must meet infection control requirements,adding to the nursing workload and reducing the compliance of nurses in changing dressings.Our research team has designed a ready-made pressure injury prevention dressing component for use with NIV masks to prevent pressure injuries to the nasal and facial areas.It is precisely designed,flexible in composition,easy to use,and can provide multiple usage modes.It effectively combines emergency care with pressure relief measures,reducing the occurrence of pressure injuries to the patient's nasal and facial areas.This improves patient comfort and treatment compliance,facilitates technology-based nursing,and enhances clinical efficiency.It has significant clinical application value and has been granted a National Utility Model Patent(ZL 202020529121.6).
