Their mean gestational age was 26 weeks (range 22-28 weeks) and mean birth weight was 840 g (range 430-1320 g). The study setting was a level 4, regional neonatal intensive care unit housed in a 200-bed freestanding children's hospital located in the Northeastern United States.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n METHODS:<\/jats:title>\n Data were collected during 3 periods. During all 3 data collection periods, we used a soft, thin-walled nasal cannula, with a relatively short, binasal prong interphase and small diameter tubing connected to a ventilator circuit capable of transmitting positive airway pressure in neonates. During data collection periods 1 and 3, we used a polyvinyl foam barrier dressing as a preventive intervention against nasal skin damage; specifically, we placed a precut barrier on the prongs to protect the nasal skin. One side of the barrier foam has an adhesive surface, which was placed against the prongs. Study period 2 differed; during this period neonates were treated with the nasal cannula without the foam barrier based on manufacturer experience suggesting the foam barrier is not needed for prevention of skin damage. Pressure injuries (PIs) that occurred during each study period were staged according to National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel definitions.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n Eighty neonates were evaluated during study period 1 (thin-walled nasal cannula plus foam barrier). We evaluated 27 neonates during period 2 (thin-walled nasal cannula and no foam barrier) and 128 were evaluated during study period 3 (thin-walled nasal cannula plus foam barrier). Six neonates (7%) developed PIs during period 1, and 2 (1.5%) developed during study period 3. All were stage 1 and 2 PIs, no full-thickness injuries, also referred to as columella necrosis developed during use of the thin-walled nasal cannula in combination with the foam barrier dressings. In contrast, 13 PIs (48%) of neonates managed during data collection period 2 (thin-walled nasal cannula with no foam barrier) developed PI, and 40% experienced stage 3 PI or columella necrosis. This difference reflects a 6-fold increase in nasal injury occurred when nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) was administered without use of the protective barrier dressing.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n CONCLUSION:<\/jats:title>\n We found clinically relevant difference in the occurrences of nasal PI in neonates managed with NCPAP; occurrences of stage 3 PI were 6-fold higher when a thin-walled cannula was used without a protective foam barrier dressing.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1097\/won.0000000000000616","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,21]],"date-time":"2020-02-21T14:38:43Z","timestamp":1582295923000},"page":"111-116","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Pressure Injuries of the Nose and Columella in Preterm Neonates Receiving Noninvasive Ventilation via a Specialized Nasal Cannula"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"47","author":[{"given":"Vita","family":"Boyar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Vita Boyar, MD,Division of Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, Cohen Children's Medical Center of New York, New Hyde Park, New York; Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra\/Northwell, Hempstead, New York."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"R1-20230826","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"523","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cnc.2018.07.008","article-title":"Modes of neonatal ventilation: breathe deeply!","volume":"30","author":"Hughes","year":"2018","journal-title":"Crit Care Nurs Clin North Am"},{"key":"R3-20230826","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"F447","DOI":"10.1136\/adc.2009.179416","article-title":"Nasal trauma due to continuous positive airway pressure in neonates","volume":"95","author":"Fisher","year":"2010","journal-title":"Arch Dis Child Fetal Neonatal Ed"},{"issue":"9","key":"R4-20230826","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"394","DOI":"10.1097\/01.ASW.0000577124.58253.66","article-title":"Pressure Injuries in the pediatric population: a National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel white paper","volume":"32","author":"Delmore","year":"2019","journal-title":"Adv Skin Wound Care"},{"key":"R5-20230826","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"31","DOI":"10.1016\/j.enfie.2017.03.006","article-title":"Prevention and treatment of skin lesions associated with non-invasive mechanical ventilation.
