Hollister Incorporated at NTI, Critical Care Expo

This year, Hollister Incorporated will introduce education sessions on the prevention of medical device related pressure injuries, an increasing risk to critically ill patients. Presented by esteemed nurse specialist Laurie McNichol, MSN, RN, CNS, GNP, CWOCN, CWON-AP, FAAN, the sessions will identify patients who may be at risk, classify types of pressure injuries, and offer key prevention strategies.

“The data illustrate that ‘traditional’ pressure injuries are on the decline, but those related to medical devices are on the rise,” stated McNichol. “Decreasing these risks is a top priority for U.S. hospitals and of course, low incidence of these injuries is considered to be an indicator of quality care.” 

“Nurses are accountable members of an interprofessional team,” said Mary Wasner, Clinical Education Manager, US Continence & Critical Care for Hollister Incorporated. “They have a unique responsibility in the prevention of pressure injury development in the ICU.”
