The national cost of hospital‐acquired pressure injuries in the United States
Tập 16 Số 3 - Trang 634-640 - 2019
Our objective was to estimate the US national cost burden of hospital‐acquired
pressure injury (HAPI) using economic simulation methods. We created a Markov
simulation to estimate costs for staged pressure injuries acquired during
hospitalisation from the hospital perspective. The model analysed outcomes of
hospitalised adults with acute illness in 1‐day cycles until all patients were
terminated a...
Medical device related pressure ulcers in hospitalized patients
Tập 7 Số 5 - Trang 358-365 - 2010
Most pressure ulcers occur over bony prominences such as heels and the sacrum.
However, the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel recognises that pressure
ulcers can also occur on any tissue under pressure and thereby can develop
beneath medical devices. This article reports on results from a secondary
analysis of existing data collected by The Nebraska Medical Center on pressure
ulcer quality im...
The efficacy and safety of Grafix® for the treatment of chronic diabetic foot ulcers: results of a multi‐centre, controlled, randomised, blinded, clinical trial
Tập 11 Số 5 - Trang 554-560 - 2014
AbstractIn a randomised, controlled study, we compared the efficacy of Grafix®,
a human viable wound matrix (hVWM) (N = 50), to standard wound care (n = 47) to
heal diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). The primary endpoint was the proportion of
patients with complete wound closure by 12 weeks. Secondary endpoints included
the time to wound closure, adverse events and wound closure in the crossover
phase. ...
Diabetic foot infections: stepwise medical and surgical management
Tập 1 Số 2 - Trang 123-132 - 2004
AbstractFoot complications are common among diabetic patients; foot ulcers are
among the more serious consequences. These ulcers frequently become infected,
with potentially disastrous progression to deeper spaces and tissues. If not
treated promptly and appropriately, diabetic foot infections can become
incurable or even lead to septic gangrene, which may require foot amputation.
Diagnosing infec...
The impact of Manuka honey dressings on the surface pH of chronic wounds
Tập 5 Số 2 - Trang 185-194 - 2008
AbstractChronic non healing wounds have an elevated alkaline environment. The
acidic pH of Manuka honey makes it a potential treatment for lowering wound pH,
but the duration of effect is unknown. Lowering wound pH can potentially reduce
protease activity, increase fibroblast activity and increase oxygen release
consequently aiding wound healing. The aim of this study was to analyse the
changes in...
The role of hyaluronan in wound healing
Tập 11 Số 2 - Trang 159-163 - 2014
The polysaccharide hyaluronan (HA) (synonyms – hyaluronic acid, hyaluronate) is
a versatile, polymorphic, glycosoaminoglycan with vast biological functions. HA
is found throughout the body, primarily residing in skin, thus playing an
important role in wound healing. Research regarding HA's function has changed
over the years, primarily focussing on a particular aspect or function. The
contribution...
Wound bed preparation: TIME for an update
Tập 13 Số S3 - Trang 8-14 - 2016
AbstractWhile the overwhelming majority of wounds heal rapidly, a significant
proportion fail to progress through the wound‐healing process. These resultant
chronic wounds cause considerable morbidity and are costly to treat. Wound bed
preparation, summarised by the TIME (Tissue, Inflammation/infection, Moisture
imbalance, Epithelial edge advancement) concept, is a systematic approach for
assessin...
Effect of platelet rich plasma gel in a physiologically relevant platelet concentration on wounds in persons with spinal cord injury
Tập 8 Số 2 - Trang 187-195 - 2011
Pressure ulcers’ incidence, preventive measures, and risk factors in neonatal intensive care and intermediate care units
Tập 15 Số 4 - Trang 571-579 - 2018
Epidemiological studies on pressure ulcers (PUs) in hospitalised infants are
scarce. Spain lacks comprehensive research studies providing data on the
prevalence or incidence in this population. This work was developed to determine
the incidence of PUs in hospitalised infants admitted to intensive and
intermediate care units, along with relevant risk factors and preventive
measures. A prospective s...
