Use of point-of-care subepidermal moisture devices to detect localised oedema and evaluate pressure injury risk: A scoping review

Annette McLaren-Kennedy et al.

Summary: This scoping review examined the use of point-of-care subepidermal moisture devices by bedside clinicians to identify increased pressure injury risk. It found that nurses are the primary users of these devices, but there are significant knowledge gaps and inconsistent use in clinical practice. Further research is needed to standardize procedural instructions and interpretive criteria.

EffEctiveness of Prophylactic fOam dressings in the prevention of saCral pressure injuries in at-risk hospitalised patients: the EEPOC trial

R. M. Walker et al.

Summary: This trial aims to determine the clinical and cost-effectiveness of a prophylactic silicone foam border dressing in preventing sacral pressure injuries in medical-surgical patients. The trial is conducted in three Australian hospitals with a sample size of 1320. The primary outcome is the cumulative incidence of patients who develop a sacral pressure injury. Secondary outcomes include the time and severity of sacral pressure injury, cost-effectiveness, and process evaluation. Rating: 7/10.

The effect of prone positioning on pressure injury incidence in adult intensive care unit patients: A meta-review of systematic reviews

Declan Patton et al.

Summary: This meta-review aimed to evaluate the impact of prone positioning on pressure injuries in adult ICU patients. The results showed a high incidence of pressure injuries in the prone position, with various locations identified. While some reviews had high quality, data on injury locations were limited. Targeted preventative strategies are needed to address this issue.

The effect of a pressure ulcer prevention care bundle on nursing workload costs

Tuba Yilmazer et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of care under the guidance of a pressure ulcer prevention care bundle on pressure ulcer incidence rates and nursing workload costs. The results showed a decrease in pressure ulcer incidence rates after the care bundle, albeit not significant, as well as a significant reduction in nursing workload costs. This suggests that the use of care bundle is effective, and healthcare professionals in intensive care units should use it more frequently.

D. Beeckman et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that silicone foam dressings can effectively reduce the incidence of category 2 or worse PUs in hospitalized at-risk patients, especially for sacral areas. No statistical difference was found for the heel and trochanter areas.

Evaluating the sensitivity, specificity and clinical utility of algorithms of spatial variation in sub-epidermal moisture (SEM) for the diagnosis of deep and early-stage pressure induced tissue damage

Steve Gershon et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the sensitivity, specificity, and clinical utility of spatial variation in sub-epidermal moisture readings between healthy and damaged skin tissue for detecting early pressure-induced injuries. Results showed significant differences in SEM measures within damaged tissue anatomies, but not in healthy subjects. Algorithms indicated a sensitivity of 82-87% and a specificity of 51-88% at an SEM delta >= 0.6, exceeding clinical judgement.

Clinical impact of a sub-epidermal moisture scanner: what is the real-world use?

Louisa Musa et al.

Summary: In this study, the SEM Scanner device seamlessly integrated into routine skin assessments and facilitated early identification of tissue damage risk, leading to significant reductions in HAPU incidence rates across all participating sites. The device had a notable impact on clinical decision-making related to HAPU, with changes in decision-making reported in various care settings.

Clinical profile of the SEM Scanner - Modernizing pressure injury care pathways using Sub-Epidermal Moisture (SEM) scanning

Ruth A. Bryant et al.

Summary: The SEM Scanner is the first device authorized by the FDA to objectively assess early-stage pressure-induced tissue damage, providing a way for healthcare professionals to intervene before visible signs of tissue damage develop. FDA clearance was based on bench studies and data from three foundational trials, demonstrating the device's diagnostic accuracy significantly exceeding clinical judgment.

Summary: Implementing scanning technology into routine clinical practice achieves consistent reductions in pressure injury/ulcer incidence. Study results showed an 81% reduction in pressure injury/ulcer incidence across all four wards, with 83% of patients reporting improved clinical decisions based on Sub-Epidermal Moisture (SEM) Scanner data.
