Effectiveness of Multilayered Polyurethane Foam Dressings to Prevent Hospital-Acquired Sacral Pressure Injuries in Patients With Hip Fracture: A Randomized Controlled Trial
CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that multilayered polyurethane foam dressings are not superior to the standard preventive PI care alone and should be used with caution, especially when multiple dressing changes may occur. Further exploration of the role of multilayered polyurethane foam dressings in preventing PI development is warranted. (Source: Journal of Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nursing)

Pressure Injury Prevention and Wound Management for the Patient Who Is Actively Dying: Evidence-Based Recommendations to Guide Care
Preventing pressure injuries and wound deterioration can be challenging for the patient at the end of life.

Prophylactic Dressings for Maintaining Skin Integrity of Healthcare Workers When Using N95 Respirators While Preventing Contamination Due to the Novel Coronavirus: A Quality Improvement Project
CONCLUSION: Based on these experiences, we recommend application of an alcohol-free liquid acrylate film to prevent facial skin injury associated with friction from the extended use of an N95 respirator mask. We further recommend performing a fit test and user-performed seal check with the use of any topical dressing and especially those that add cushion. For the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, we recommend use of protective dressings to maintain skin integrity and protection from coronavirus infection as HCWs continue to provide care to all of patients under their care.
