The Role of BedShower™ in Managing Multi-Trauma Patients
Trauma patients, particularly those with multiple injuries and ventilation dependence, require specialized care that addresses a range of complex challenges. These patients often have soft tissue damage, lacerations, open wounds, burns, orthopedic injuries with external fixators, and other conditions that increase their susceptibility to infection. Managing the hygiene and care of these patients is crucial to reducing the risk of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), surgical site infections (SSIs), and other complications. The BedShower™ system provides an all-in-one solution for delivering the highest standard of hygiene and infection control, helping to reduce nursing care burden while improving patient outcomes.
Comfortable
BedShower™ provides a soothing and healing shower experience directly in bed.
Hygienic
BedShower™ systems use fresh water and can be easily disinfected after each use.
Comprehensive Hygiene for Ventilation-Dependent Multi-Trauma Patients
Managing Complex Injuries and Orthopedic Fixations
Multi-trauma patients often have a combination of soft tissue injuries, lacerations, burns, and orthopedic injuries requiring external fixators with pins. Maintaining hygiene around these fixators is critical for preventing infection. Traditional bed bathing methods can expose patients to contamination, increasing the risk of infection in vulnerable areas.
- Focused Aseptic Showering: BedShower™ delivers precise, sterile irrigation around external fixators, pins, and other orthopedic devices, reducing microbial contamination and preventing infection at the injury site. This targeted care helps prevent the development of complications, such as osteomyelitis or wound infections.
Post-Surgical Care for Open Wounds and Amputations
For trauma patients with open wounds, burns, or amputations, maintaining wound hygiene is essential to prevent infection and support healing. BedShower™ provides a controlled, aseptic showering system that ensures thorough cleaning of wounds and surrounding skin, reducing the microbial load and minimizing the risk of SSIs and wound complications.
- Aseptic Irrigation for Open Wounds: The BedShower™ system can be used with sterile or antiseptic solutions, such as chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) or povidone-iodine, to clean wounds and surgical sites. This focused irrigation helps prevent contamination and promotes faster healing.
Infection Control for Patients with Central Lines and Devices
Reducing the Risk of Bloodstream Infections (BSIs) and Device-Related Infections
Multi-trauma patients often require central lines, catheters, and other devices that increase their risk of bloodstream infections (BSIs) and device-related infections. Maintaining hygiene at these device insertion sites is critical for preventing infections that could lead to severe complications.
Aseptic Washing of Central Lines: BedShower™ makes it easy to perform aseptic washing of central line insertion sites, followed by the application of antiseptic dressings. This ensures that the central line sites remain clean and protected, reducing the risk of central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) and other device-related infections.
Reduction of Skin Microbial Bioburden: The BedShower™ system effectively reduces the microbial load on the skin, decreasing the risk of infections such as SSIs and wound infections. By providing an aseptic, no-rinse showering method, BedShower™ minimizes skin contamination and enhances infection control for trauma patients.
BedShower™ and Surface Decontamination: A Comprehensive Approach
ICUs, especially those handling trauma patients, are high-risk environments where contamination can extend beyond patient skin to surfaces and equipment. The BedShower™ system features an innovative misting system that ensures concurrent disinfection of beds, mattresses, and patient room furniture (such as tables, trays, and infusion pumps), reducing the risk of cross-contamination between patients and healthcare workers.
Surface Decontamination with EPA-Registered Disinfectant
- EPA-Registered Disinfectant: BedShower™ uses a powerful, EPA-registered disinfectant misting system that eliminates 99.999999% of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and mold. This decontamination process ensures that all surfaces are thoroughly disinfected, including patient beds, equipment, and room furniture. The disinfectant creates a fungistatic barrier that provides long-lasting protection, keeping surfaces pathogen-free for extended periods and minimizing the risk of HAIs.
Reducing Nursing Care Burden with BedShower™
Multi-trauma patients are among the highest nursing demand patients, requiring intensive care for wounds, devices, and overall hygiene. The BedShower™ system reduces the burden on nursing staff by providing a comprehensive solution for managing hygiene and infection control in trauma patients.
Efficiency and Time-Saving: By integrating aseptic showering, focused irrigation, and surface decontamination into a single system, BedShower™ saves time for nurses, allowing them to focus on other critical aspects of patient care. The automatic disinfection process also reduces the need for manual cleaning of surfaces and equipment, further easing the workload on healthcare staff.
Comprehensive Care in One System: BedShower™ addresses multiple challenges faced by multi-trauma patients, offering a solution for wound care, device hygiene, skin microbial reduction, and infection prevention. This all-in-one system ensures that trauma patients receive the highest standard of care while minimizing the risk of complications.
Reducing Nursing Care Burden with BedShower™
The BedShower™ Advantage for Trauma Care
The management of multi-trauma patients, especially those who are ventilation-dependent, requires specialized care to prevent infections and ensure optimal healing. The BedShower™ system offers a comprehensive solution for maintaining the highest level of hygiene, reducing infection risks, and supporting better outcomes for trauma patients. By integrating aseptic showering, wound irrigation, and surface decontamination, BedShower™ reduces nursing care burden while improving the quality of care delivered to the most vulnerable patients.
