3 Common Bariatric Skin Concerns What is your facility doing to prevent them? By Alecia Cooper, RN, BS, MBA, CNOR Human dignity is an essential part of health care for all residents, including those who are obese.1 Similar to residents who are extremely underweight, bariatric patients are at risk for a host of difficult and costly-to-resolve skin conditions, making prevention absolutely crucial.
Ways to help minimize friction and shear injuries: • Select clothing that is roomy enough to minimize skinto-skin contact and allow for adequate positioning.2 • Use corn starch-based powders, cotton fabric, gauze or other padding material to separate skin surfaces from one another.2 • Place soft towels, paper towels or linen pillow cases between surface contact areas. This helps keep skin off skin and absorbs excess moisture.
