AORN Guidelines & Recommendations

AORN
Guidelines & Recommendations

Official AORN Guidelines Recommend¹

“Elevate the patient’s heels off of the underlying surface. Offloading the supine patient’s heels increases perfusion and helps prevent pressure injury.” Section 5.11 - Pressure Injury Prevention
“Flex the patient’s knees approximately 5-10 degrees. Positioning the knees in a slight flexion prevents popliteal vein compression and reduces the patient’s risk for DVT.” Section 4.2 - Positioning the Patient

Proven Pressure Management

In a study of 15 subjects ranging from 16-54 BMI (average BMI 35.5), the Pink Pad provided an average peak pressure reduction of 43%.

US Government Data² show Hospital-Acquired Pressure Injuries (HAPIs):

Are the direct cause of death for roughly 60,000 patients each year
Add an estimated $43,180 in costs per hospital stay
Result in more than 17,000 medical lawsuits, annually (the second most common claim after wrongful death)
Increase hospital stays by nine days on average

Images shown are of the same 30.85 BMI subject, on a solid surface, with and without the Pink Pad. Tests were conducted with an Xsensor Sensor Pad Model PX 100:48.144.02

Reduce Time, Costs
and Unnecessary Risk

Safer, Faster

Setup time under one minute saves your hospital up to $1,900 per procedure^*
^*Based on OR costs of $100/minute⁷ ⁸, and 20-minute average setup times for competitive systems
Standardized best-practices can be achieved with pre-configured kits, eliminating makeshift "off-label" solutions

Less Time for Risk

The risk of pressure injuries increases by 40% every 30 minutes of surgery³
For each hour of the duration of surgery, the risk of SSI increased by 34%⁴
Prolonged anesthesia duration is associated with increased odds of complication, venous thromboembolism, increased length of stay, and return to operating room.⁵
