Pressure Ulcers: Evidence-Based Prevention and Management
Tóm tắt
There is limited good-quality research focused on the prevention and management of pressure ulcers. Current available evidence reveals that the following approaches may help to prevent pressure ulcers: the use of support surfaces such as specialized foam and specialized sheepskin overlays, mattress overlays on operating tables, consultation with a dietician to ensure adequate general nutrition, but it is not known whether any specific supplementation is useful, and moisturizing dry sacral skin. For management of existing pressure ulcers, it is unknown whether any specific support surface or dressing is preferable to any others; whether routine nutritional supplementation is beneficial, or if adjunctive therapies improve healing compared with standard care. Current evidence shows that the presence of increasing pain may make infection of a chronic wound more likely. There may be individuals for whom pressure ulcers are unavoidable. Risk assessment tools may be useful for identifying individuals at high risk for developing pressure ulcers.
