Customer background

Olga Isart Bosch, a nurse at the SCIAS hospital de Barcelona decided to investigate if the usage of special Perineum wipes can reduce the IAD incidence, compared to the traditional incontinence care soaping, rinsing, drying and moisturizing.

The challenge

The hospital did not have enough data of the magnitude of IAD problem. During 2016, 36% of incontinent patients at Hospital de Barcelona developed IAD during hospital stay.

Risks: “Patients with IAD may get easier secondary skin infections, with yeast infections being the most usual.”

Solution

From July 1, 2017, all incontinent patients admitted to the ward, until reaching a total of 125 patients per group, received incontinence care either through traditional methods or using Swash Perineum Wipes.

The study was conducted in the Internal Medicine and Medical Specialties units UH13 and UH14 of Hospital de Barcelona-SCIAS. It is an experimental, observational, and descriptive study aimed at assessing the incidence of IAD in two groups of incontinent patients who received different methods of perineal hygiene.
