Article Synopsis
- Nurses in busy critical care settings often struggle with keeping up with routine repositioning schedules for patients at risk of pressure injuries.
- A study tested the effectiveness of wearable sensors that provide visual cues to improve compliance with a two-hour repositioning protocol in a medical ICU.
- Results showed compliance jumped from 55% to 89% with the use of the sensors, indicating that visual cueing significantly helps nurses to meet repositioning needs and improves teamwork.
