Abstract
One-third of hospital-acquired pressure injuries are related to medical devices. The purpose of this quality improvement project was to create an evidence-based guideline in one acute care hospital setting for the prevention of medical device-related pressure injuries (MDRPIs) and to implement the hospital-wide use of a new nasogastric tube securement device to offload pressure to the nares. The first phase of this project comprised development of a guideline along with multiple education opportunities. The second phase of this project consisted of evaluation and subsequent conversion to a new nasogastric tube securement device. This project led to reduced MDRPI incidence rates over the past 12 months.
