With the growing complexity and duration of surgeries, particularly for malignant tumors, the risk of nasal pressure injuries has increased. These injuries contribute to greater pain, extended hospital stays, higher treatment costs, and delayed recovery, underscoring the need for effective preventive measures. Under the Hospital Patient Safety Initiative, a multidisciplinary team was established to implement a comprehensive prevention strategy. This involved structured risk assessment, dynamic and graded nursing interventions, and systematic postoperative follow-up. A historical control study was conducted, comparing nasal pressure injury incidence over two 12-month periods: pre- and post-intervention.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 515 patients were included\u2014221 in the historical control (HC) group and 294 in the intervention group (IG). Baseline characteristics were well-balanced between the two groups, with all standardized mean differences (SMD) below 0.1. The incidence of nasal pressure injuries (PI) significantly decreased from 7.24% in the HC group to 2.38% in the IG group (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f=\u202f0.008, two-sided). The absolute risk reduction (ARR) was 4.86% (95% CI: 1.19\u20139.23%), corresponding to a relative risk (RR) of 0.33 (95% CI: 0.14\u20130.79) and a number needed to treat (NNT) of 21 (95% CI: 11\u201385). Notably, stage 2 injuries were eliminated in the intervention group (3 vs. 0 cases), and no injuries of stage 3 or higher were observed in either cohort.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The multidisciplinary bundle, featuring a modified CORN scale and graded interventions, effectively reduces the risk of device-related nasal pressure injuries.
