| dc.description.abstract | Background: Hospital-acquired conditions (HAC’s) such as pressure injuries are prevalent on a global scale. Over 2.5 million people develop pressure injuries with a cost of up to $50,000 each year in the U.S. Pressure injuries are painful to the patients, prolong hospital stays, and cause more than 60,000 death each year. PICOT: In critically ill, hospitalized patients, what is the effect of the continuous lateral rotation therapy (CLRT) compared to manual repositioning every two hours in preventing pressure injuries over a three-month period. Synthesis: Studies showed that not only does CLRT work, but that it is superior to manual repositioning in preventing pressure injuries. The purpose of this evidence-based project is to implement continuous lateral rotation therapy (CLRT) in place of manual repositioning, the gold standard in pressure injury prevention. | en_US |
