1 Disclosures Pulmonary vs. Skin Outcomes: Do We Really Need to Select Just One? Kathleen M. Vollman MSN, RN, CCNS, FCCM, FAAN Clinical Nurse Specialist/Educator/Consultant ADVANCING NURSING Northville, Michigan Vollman 2011 Sage Products Speaker Bureau & Consultant Hill-Rom consultant E.L. Lilly Eloquest Healthcare Learning Outcomes: Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia(VAP) Determine the significance of negative pulmonary & skin outcomes Understand the various evidence based mobility strategies that impact pulmonary outcomes and skin issues. Compare and contrast challenges that may arise when mobility strategies are used to achieve singular outcomes. Outline care practices around mobility interventions that promote achievement of both pulmonary and skin outcomes. VAP crude mortality approximately 10-40%. Pooled mean ranges.5 (RICU) to 10.7 (Burn ICU) per 1000 ventilator days Est cost $30,000-$40,000 per VAP Calculated loss for VAP against matched controls=$12,780 Increase LOS up to 4-14 days Annual cost $2 billion dollars.

3 Head Elevation Research for Prevention of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia HOB elevation vs. supine significantly reduces the incidence of VAP (Drakulovic MB. et. al. Lancet. 1999;354: ) Continuous measurement of HOB confirmed that some amount of elevation is critical to reduce VAP (Van Nieuwenhoven CA, et al. Crit Care Med, 2006;34: ) Joint Commission has HOB at 30 degrees in ventilator patients as a core measure for the reduction of VAP Manual Turning: Impact on Pneumonia Effect of Post Op Immobilization (Chulay MA et al, CCM, 1982) RCT: 35 post op CABG patient, Compared q 2 turning/supine in 1st 24 hrs Results: Patient turned has less fever & 3 day in ICU LOS Freq of Turning on Pneumonia (Schallom et. al. 2005) Observation: 284 ICU pts for 16/hrs/day x3 days Mean # of observed turns 9.64 vs. 23 possible turns/48 hrs) Results: Day 4 patients with pneumonia turned average 8.6 x vs without pneumonia Cushion Based Rotation Bed CLRT to Prevent VAP Goldhill DR et al.

5 Pressure Ulcers Impact of Moisture Shear A pressure ulcer is localized injury to the skin and/or underlying tissue usually over a bony prominence, as a result of pressure, or pressure in combination with shear and/or friction. Moisture increases the friction coefficient Urinary and fecal incontinence are common in the acute care setting, occurring in more than one-third of hospitalized adults. Humidity/Moisture: Strain at which the skin breaks is 4x greater with excess moisture than dry skin Moisture increases the risk of shear & friction damage Friction MOISTURE Adapted from Barb Bates-Jensen Nicolopoulos CS, et al.

6 Common Belief CLRT can be used as a prevention therapy for skin to achieve turning in critically ill patients I do not need to manually turn my patient when on CLRT When using CLRT, the therapy should be stopped every 2 hrs followed by offloading of the sacrum for 30 minutes, then resume CLRT I do not need to manually turn a patient on an air pressure support surface to relieve pressure Truth Based on Literature & Experience 30 years of research focus on the use of CLRT as a prevention therapy towards pulmonary outcomes Manual turning for assessment of the lungs and skin should occur at the level of frequency done for patients not on the therapy If CLRT therapy performed correctly with lung & skin assessment completed on a regular basis, offloading is not necessary All patients need to be turned. Some surfaces because of the pressure reducing capabilities allow the patient to remain in a position for a longer period of time INCREASE YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE IMPORTANCE OF PERFORMING CLRT CORRECTLY CLRT: Performed Correctly CLRT: Performed Correctly Driven by a protocol with placement criteria & discontinuation of use Placement criteria: Suctioning every 30 minutes and/or secretions > 30cc per 24 hours Areas on consolidation and/or lobar atelectasis per chest x-ray and/or requiring frequent bronchoscopy for secretion removal Difficulty with oxygenation: PaO2 of 60mmHg on > 40% FiO2 and 5 of PEEP (direction of ventilatory support increasing) Patients who are at risk for ARDS. This may include critically ill patients with Septic Shock, Gastric Aspiration, and/or Multiple Trauma. Critically ill patients unable to tolerate a manual turn by displaying a sustained drop (> 5 minutes) in oxygen saturation (< 88%), blood pressure (SBP < 85mmHg), and/or heart rate (< 60 beats per minute) Driven by a protocol with placement criteria & discontinuation of use Discontinuation criteria: Respiratory status improved: 48 hours post clear chest x-ray, 48 hours of a PaO2 > 60mmHg on 40% FiO2 or less and 5 of PEEP (Direction of ventilator support decreasing) and/or secretions < 30cc per 24 hours, or one hour or more time between suction interventions Agitation not therapeutically managed CLRT Performed Correctly The therapy MUST be driven by a protocol Settings & changes in settings are nursing orders and are written and documented Turn frequency and amount: Minimum of 18 hours per day & six cycles per hour (use timed therapy never > 10 mins, if you use pause times never > 3 mins) Usual time 5 minutes or 1 min pause time to achieve research based number of cycles One lung above the other Monitor initial turn cycle to ensure one lung is above the other Automation of turning requires insertion of usual assessment practices (q 2hr for lungs & skin) Evaluate daily to determine continued need or ability to progress to other forms of mobility Potentials Reasons for Why Skin Injury May Occur When Using CLRT CLRT is an advance therapeutic technique Training & monitoring of therapy use is not performed to ensure accuracy & safety Patients are not rotated enough to achieve one lung above the other or frequent enough > 18hrs a day with minimum i of 6 cycles One lung above the other is enough to have sacral offload Q 2 hr assessment of skin & lungs is not performed Most nurses have been educated 1x or maybe 2x on how to use the bed (not enough for a advance therapeutic technique) HOB at 30 degrees causes challenges in maintaining effective rotation 6

7 How to Achieve Pulmonary Outcomes with CLRT without Skin Injury Therapy is only used for pulmonary purposes with a protocol that has direction on frequency & rotation of a turn Education of frontline caregivers initially & then yearly to maintain competence Built into orientation Round to ensure correct utilization of the therapy & documentation Right patient/right reason Rotation Frequency Reinforce the need for q 2 hr assessment of skin & lungs Achieve HOB through 15 degree HOB and 15 degree reverse trendelenburg Jankowski IM.
