Does the use of bundle prevention tools reduce the future risk of acquiring pressure ulcers compared with every two-hour repositioning?

When compared to repositioning every two hours, using bundle prevention tools like skin care and nutrition support will reduce your future risk of developing pressure ulcers. The reason is that bundles provide multiple defenses by targeting factors on a systemic as well as environmental level, which are essential to maintaining healthy skin integrity. Regular skin cleaning can reduce the risk of infection, while adequate nutrition ensures that the patient has enough energy to move more often if necessary.

Additionally, some studies have even suggested that using bundles might be more effective than traditional repositioning alone due its ability to provide longer lasting protection – though further research still needs to be done in order confirm this definitively. Bundle approaches to patient care appear an effective method for reducing the risk of developing pressure ulcers.
