Impact of missed interventions on tissue injury outcomes identified via sub-epidermal moisture scanning
Aim
Sub-epidermal moisture scanning is an emerging tool for the early detection of hospital-acquired pressure injuries. However, the impact of missed interventions following high SEM readings remains underexplored. This study examined the relationship between intervention compliance, missed interventions, and ΔSEM improvement in patients in an intensive care unit and a rehabilitation unit.
Sub-epidermal moisture (SEM) scanning is a validated tool for the early detection of hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs). However, the impact of missed interventions following high SEM readings remains underexplored. This study examines the relationship between intervention compliance, missed interventions, and ΔSEM improvement in patients from an intensive care unit (ICU) and a rehabilitation unit.
Methods
This prospective observational study was conducted in a metropolitan ICU and a secondary rehabilitation unit in Australia. Daily SEM scanning was conducted alongside standard HAPI prevention measures. A ΔSEM value ≥ 0.6 triggered clinical interventions. Missed interventions were defined as the absence of additional care following a high ΔSEM reading. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to explore associations between compliance and ΔSEM improvement.
Results
Among 229 patients, including 181 in the rehabilitation unit and 48 in the ICU, high ΔSEM values were observed in 75.5 % and 79.2 % of patients, respectively. SEM-guided interventions were associated with a 63 % reduction in HAPI incidence in the rehabilitation unit and improved ΔSEM outcomes in ICU patients. Three missed interventions resulted in persistent high ΔSEM values in ICU and four in the rehabilitation cohort indicating a potential critical window.
Conclusion
Timely interventions following high SEM readings are critical for improving tissue health and reducing HAPI risk. Further research should explore critical windows for responsive care in different patient cohorts. Scanning protocols and interventions should be tailored to specific clinical environments.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Tissue Viability is the official publication of the Tissue Viability Society and is a quarterly journal concerned with all aspects of the occurrence and treatment of wounds, ulcers and pressure sores including patient care, pain, nutrition, wound healing, research, prevention, mobility, social problems and management.
The Journal particularly encourages papers covering skin and skin wounds but will consider articles that discuss injury in any tissue. Articles that stress the multi-professional nature of tissue viability are especially welcome. We seek to encourage new authors as well as well-established contributors to the field - one aim of the journal is to enable all participants in tissue viability to share information with colleagues.
