Are you effectively managing moisture to reduce the risk of Incontinence Associated Dermatitis?
2
Incontinence Associated Dermatitis (IAD) is a common and painful problem.1 It affects all ages, races, and genders. Damage occurs when moisture from urine or stool is left on the skin.
What is IAD?
IAD is defined as skin inflammation manifested as redness with or without blistering, erosion, or loss of skin barrier function that occurs as a consequence of chronic or repeated exposure of the skin to urine or feces.3

• Nappy rash/dermatitis• Irritant dermatitis

• Moisture ulcers• Moisture lesions

Normal healthy skin is an effective barrier in preventing bacteria from entering the body. The normal acid mantle of the skin (pH 4 to 6.8) tends to inhibit the growth of bacteria.7
Bacteria are present on the skin, and if the skin is not broken, these bacteria do not enter.
However, bacteria and fungi can enter if the skin breaks down due to IAD.7

IAD is painful—burning, itching and tingling in affected areas.1 Recent studies evaluating the effectiveness of skin care products reveal a direct association between pain intensity and the degree of skin damage from incontinence.2
Incontinence associated dermatitis can also lead to the loss of independence, disruption to activities and/or sleep, and reduced quality of life that becomes worse as the frequency and quantity of soiling increases.1
Patients with IAD can develop a pressure injury because excessive moisture reduces the skin’s tolerance to excessive pressure.

• Blanchable erythema
• Glistening appearance of the skin due to serous exudate
• Partial thickness skin loss (denudation, erosion, abrasion or superficial ulceration of the injured skin)
• Viscles (bullae) containing clear exudate
Severity of damage is dependent upon:2
• Aging skin is particularly vulnerable to IAD due to lower baseline function and prolonged healing
• Duration of irritant exposure
• Frequency of exposure
• Type of irritant (double incontinence and liquid stool are most caustic). Double incontinence is 50-70% more common than urinary or fecal incontinence alone1,8

Comparing moisture management product solutions
Lack air-permeability (skin microclimate).
Moisture vapor permeable film allows moisture vapor to transfer away from the patient while protecting bed linens from bodily fluids, helping to keep the patient dry and comfortable.
Traditional features Premium features
Reusable linen or standard underpads (or “chucks”) lack the absorbent capacity to manage large or multiple voids and may trap moisture against the skin.
Reusable linen product may struggle to lock moisture away, holding fluid against the skin.
These products may leak, unable to contain voids.
Dual action core is designed to quickly lock in fluids and neutralize unpleasant odors.
Backsheet assists in the lift and repositioning of patients up to 400 pounds, which helps reduce the need for drawsheets and reusable underpads.
Standard underpads may tear.
Care providers may layer multiple products. Place only one premium underpad under the patient at a time.

EvaluationFor a period of four months, each unit evaluated the Cardinal Health premium underpads.
This evaluation was conducted independent of Cardinal Health employee participation.
Large IDN in the Eastern United States improves skin health
As part of a program to improve skin health, Cardinal Health premium underpads were evaluated by a large IDN in the Eastern United States.
The evaluation occurred on three units and lasted four months.
The IDN team commissioned biostatisticians to review their results.

Case study10
Pre-evaluation statePrior to the study, reusable underpads were used on three hospital units.
Post-evaluation stateAfter moving from reusable underpads to Cardinal Health premium underpads, the team of biostatisticians uncovered statistically significant reductions in IAD severity scores and IAD prevalence among their patients (p = 0.002).
