Clinical effectiveness of a multidisciplinary quality improvement initiative to prevent nasal pressure injuries associated with nasotracheal tube: a historical controlled study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a multidisciplinary quality improvement initiative on reducing nasal pressure injuries related to nasotracheal tube (NTT) in patients undergoing prolonged oral, head and neck surgery. Methods: Transnasal intubation is frequently employed in these procedures to optimize surgical field exposure. 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. Results: A total of 515 patients were included-221 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 ( Conclusion: The multidisciplinary bundle, featuring a modified CORN scale and graded interventions, effectively reduces the risk of device-related nasal pressure injuries. This approach is scalable for perioperative nursing management in prolonged head and neck surgeries.
