On 18 October 2021, Prof. Beeckman and Anika Fourie will present a workshop titled "Preventing Tissue Damage in the Patient in the Prone Position - Translating Science into Practice. This will be an interactive session where the speakers provide evidence-based recommendations for clinical practice. The program can be viewed here.
Experts from the International Skin Tear Advisory Panel (ISTAP) formulated this guideline for the prevention and management of peri-wound complications. "The document aims to raise awareness of issues relating to the peri-wound and to enable all clinicians to consider the peri-wound appropriately when managing wounds." The document can be accessed via www.skintears.org or by clicking here.
Prof. Dimitri Beeckman will put theory into practice in his presentation on "Prevention of pressure ulcers and moisture-induced skin damage in patients in the prone position".
Online presentation: 4 June 2021 at 10.10 - 10.30 CET.
Prone ventilation is an effective strategy to improve oxygenation for the patient with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
Unfortunately, placing the patient in the prone position increases the risk for pressure ulcer development and moisture-associated skin damage. The SKINT group is conducting research regarding educational strategies to help improve preventative stragies.
