Millions of surgeries are performed each year in the United States during which the patient is anesthetized, immobile, and cannot inform the surgical team of pain or discomfort at a pressure site, which may lead to a pressure injury. These patients are also at risk of developing a surgical site infection. These are two Hospital Acquired Conditions where the perioperative staff can make a big difference via prevention bundles.

Learning Objectives:

  • Explain the appearance, incidence, & impact of surgery-related pressure injuries
  • Discuss the incidence and costs of SSI
  • Examine Prevention strategies for OR related pressure injuries
  • Understand Effective interventions to prevent surgical site infections
  • Discuss Expected patient outcomes & cost savings associated with preventive intervention
