Efficacy of D33 Sealed Foam in Preventing Skin Injury from Surgical Positioning: Randomized Clinical Trial.

To evaluate the efficacy of density-33 (D33) sealed foam in preventing skin injuries from surgical positioning. The study, reported according to the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials, is characterized as a randomized clinical trial, double mask, with 64 adult patients undergoing elective surgery, 35 allocated to the control group (CG), positioned on a conventional surgical table, and 29 to the experimental group (EG), positioned on a conventional surgical table overlaid with a D33 sealed foam support surface (SS) in the occipital, sacral, and heel regions. Simple randomization was carried out, as was masking of the researcher who evaluated the skin of the patient and the statistician.

Nonpharmacologic Therapies for Postoperative Pain in Cardiac Surgery: A Systematic Review.

Objectives: To search for studies that address the efficacy of nonpharmacologic methods for pain relief in adults undergoing cardiac surgeries.

Design: A systematic review registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) under number CRD42020168681.

Data Source: PubMed, LILACS, CINAHL, the Web of Science, Scopus, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials.

Respiratory device-related pressure injuries in hospitalised adults: An integrative review.

Objective: To identify the main ventilatory support medical devices related to the occurrence of pressure injuries in hospitalised adults, as well as the most frequent anatomical localisations of these injuries.

Methods: The Integrative review was registered at Open Science Framework as per DOI 10.17605/OSF.

Prevention of medical adhesive-related skin injury during patient care: A scoping review.

Background: : Medical adhesive-related skin injury can occur during health care. Professionals must adopt preventive measures to maintain the integrity of the skin and patient comfort and safety.

Objective: : To map the existing scientific evidence on preventing medical adhesive-related skin injury in adults.

Effect of listening to music on anxiety, pain, and cardiorespiratory parameters in cardiac surgery: study protocol for a randomized clinical trial.

Background: Preoperative anxiety and postoperative pain are frequent in cardiac surgeries and constitute important stressors for patients, which can cause several complications. One strategy that aims to alleviate these phenomena is listening to music as a non-pharmacological intervention. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of listening to music on preoperative state-anxiety, postoperative pain, at rest and when instructed to cough, and cardiorespiratory parameters in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Factors associated with skin and mucosal lesions caused by medical devices in newborns: Observational study.

Aim And Objective: To identify the occurrence of skin and mucosal lesions and factors related to the use of medical devices in newborns admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit.

Background: The use of medical devices increases the risk of injury in newborns due to the immaturity and fragility of their skin and mucosa.

Design: Observational and longitudinal study.
