Device related high stage pressure injuries are a problem in many NICUs. A Quality Improvement project was conducted in a level IV NICU, EEG related high stage pressure injuries were reduced as a result of this project. The EEG bundle elements tested in this QI project eliminated high stage pressure injuries for one year.

Learning Objectives:

List the components of the NICU EEG skin care bundle elements.
Describe the interventions that may reduce high stage pressure injuries related to EEGs in neonates.
