Assessment scale of risk for surgical positioning injuries

Abstract: Objective: to build and validate a scale to assess the risk of surgical positioning injuries in adult patients. Method: methodological research, conducted in two phases: construction and face and content validation of the scale and field research, involving 115 patients. Results: the Risk Assessment Scale for the Development of Injuries due to Surgical Positioning contains seven items, each of which presents five subitems. The scale score ranges between seven and 35 points in which, the higher the score, the h… Show more

“…According to Torra i‐Bou, the ideal characteristics of a pressure ulcer risk assessment scale (PURAS) should include high sensitivity and specificity, good predictive value, be easy to use, have clear and well‐defined criteria, and be applicable to different health care settings. We applied these criteria to the previously published tools for assessing pressure ulcer risk among surgical patients . Details of these tools are summarised in Tables and .…”

“…The 1.00‐point difference in average scores between the first and second evaluations and the 0.86‐point difference in scores between the second and fifth evaluations for the NOC outcome Immobility Consequences: Physiological demonstrates that immobility contributes significantly to the development of surgical positioning‐related injuries. Immobility is an inherent necessity of surgical procedures, and, combined with factors such as mode of anaesthesia and operative time, contributes to the development of injuries, especially of the integumentary system (Lopes & Galvão, ; Lopes et al, ). Extended immobility in critical surgical positions, such as the lithotomy position, can also contribute to the development of nerve plexus injuries and chronic compartment syndrome of the lower limbs (Boyer‐Ferullo, ; Rao & Jayne, ).…”

“…It is pointed out that these scales provide subsidies for the clinical evaluation of the patient and for the DISCUSSION https://periodicos.ufpe.br/revistas/revistaenfermagem/index determination of priority care, reducing damage and suffering, as well as costs for the institutions. 9,10,11,15,[18][19][20][21]23,29, Other relevant behaviors were found, such as maintaining adequate nutritional support and hydration and managing the nutritional status of the client. This is an important practice because a wound can cause numerous deleterious effects on the body, resulting from its catabolic process, which increase nutritional needs, making the process of tissue repair and reconstruction, resulting in healing, and leading, consequently, a longer hospitalization time.…”
