Urinary catheter securement devices should never be secured on the top of the thigh in prone patients.

⚠️ Risks include:
• Continuous pressure
• Tubing tension
• Skin breakdown

✅ Secure where no pressure is applied
✅ Ensure free drainage
✅ Reassess after repositioning

Automated prone workflows with Pronova-O₂® help teams maintain visibility and consistency.

Before proning:

🚫 Remove body piercings or dermals on:
• Face
• Chest
• Abdomen
• Any anterior pressure-bearing surface

Even small objects can cause deep tissue injury during extended prone positioning.

📞 Need a prone safety checklist or protocol review?
Call Turn Medical at 855-ASK-TURN

In prone patients, anterior EKG leads can create unintended pressure points on the chest.

🔹 Consider repositioning leads to the back
🔹 Maintain signal quality
🔹 Reduce chest wall injury risk

The InteliDerm™ System supports pressure redistribution for prolonged prone therapy.

⚠️ Monitoring devices can become pressure points in prone patients.

• BIS monitors on the forehead
• Train-of-Four electrodes placed on the face

Both increase pressure injury risk during prolonged proning.

✅ Spot-check TOF when possible
✅ Consider ulnar placement
✅ Reassess facial devices frequently

Automated prone therapy with InteliDerm® Powered Skin Protection System helps protect vulnerable anterior surfaces during prolonged prone sessions.

Commercial-grade ET tube holders with hard plastic facial components can create focal pressure points on the cheeks and perioral area in prone patients.

Additional risks include:
• Overtightened tape
• Repeated removal and reapplication
• Tape tearing fragile skin

The InteliDerm™ Powered Skin Protection System helps manage pressure and microclimate in high-risk facial and chest areas during prolonged proning.

Prone positioning saves lives, but it also introduces unique pressure injury risks, especially in high-acuity ICU patients.

This February, as we head into NPIAP Conference Month, we’re highlighting often-overlooked risk factors in the prone patient population and simple adjustments that can make a meaningful difference for patients and caregivers.

🩺 Small details.
🛏️ Big impact.
💙 Better outcomes.

Follow along this month as we break them down.

The Pronova-O2® is redefining what’s possible in ARDS management by reducing physical strain, improving workflow efficiency, and elevating nurse satisfaction.

If your hospital is ready to:
✔ Protect your staff 💪
✔ Improve recruitment & retention
✔ Enhance ARDS outcomes
✔ Reduce risk & injuries
✔ Modernize your ICU

⏱️ Then it’s time to explore the Pronova-O2®.

Your caregivers deserve tools that care for them, too.

📞 Call 855-ASK-TURN, because we care.

🍽️ Procedure: Enteral Feeding Access in Prone Ventilated Patients

Modern critical care practice supports the continuation of enteral nutrition during prolonged prone ventilation. With secure tube placement, aspiration precautions, and appropriate monitoring, nutrition therapy can proceed safely and is essential for recovery.
How Pronova-O2™ Supports the Procedure:

The Pronova-O2 system allows for controlled head-of-bed elevation (as tolerated) and stable positioning that supports feeding tube security and pressure management. Automated turning reduces dislodgement risk and supports uninterrupted nutritional delivery during prone therapy.

📘 Citations:
• Powers J, et al. Nutr Clin Pract. 2022.
• Martindale R, et al. JPEN. 2020.

👉 Clinical Tip: Systems designed for safe elevation, stability, and pressure redistribution help minimize aspiration risk while maintaining nutrition during prone ventilation.

Prone positioning saves lives in moderate to severe ARDS. But delays caused by staffing gaps or difficult manual processes can limit access to this life-saving intervention.

The Pronova-O2® helps hospitals:
🏥 Initiate therapy sooner
🏥 Deliver consistent, evidence-based care
🏥 Reduce complications, including pressure injuries
🏥 Improve outcomes for respiratory failure patients

🎯 When caregivers are supported, patients benefit—every time.
