The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of specialty pads as an intervention to reduce the incidence of intraoperatively acquired pressure sores. A convenience sample (N = 361) was drawn from all inpatients who underwent cardiothoracic or major vascular surgery on the standard operating room table (group 1), the air-filled pad (group 2), or the specialty foam pad (group 3). This sample was inclusive of 100% of patients during the study period who met the criteria. The incidence of pressure sore development was seven in group 1, zero in group 2, and one in group 3. There was at statistically significant difference (p = 0.0003) between group 1 and group 2. Additionally, a statistically significant difference (p = 0.0003) was found between group 1 and group 3. The foam pad and the air-filled pad were effective interventions for reducing the risk of intraoperatively acquired pressure sores.
本研究的目的是确定专用垫作为一种干预措施，降低术中获得性压疮发生率的有效性。便利样本（N = 361）取自所有在标准手术台上接受心胸或大血管手术的住院患者，其中一组使用标准手术台（第1组），一组使用充气垫（第2组），另一组使用专用泡沫垫（第3组）。该样本涵盖了研究期间所有符合标准的患者。第1组压疮发生率为7例，第2组为0例，第3组为1例。第1组和第2组之间存在统计学显著差异（p = 0.0003）。此外，第1组和第3组之间也存在统计学显著差异（p = 0.0003）。泡沫垫和充气垫是降低术中获得性压疮风险的有效干预措施。
