Prolonged stay in the emergency department is an independent risk factor for hospital‐acquired pressure ulcerInternational Wound Journal - Tập 17 Số 2 - Trang 259-267 - 2020
Dong Kwan Han, Bora Kang, Joonghee Kim, You Hwan Jo, Jae Hyuk Lee, Ji Eun Hwang, Inwon Park, Dong‐Hyun Jang
AbstractIt is not easy to ensure optimal prevention of hospital‐acquired
pressure ulcer (HAPU) in crowded emergency departments (EDs). We hypothesised
that a prolonged ED length of stay (LOS) is associated with an increased risk of
HAPU. This is a single‐centre observational study. Prospectively collected HAPU
surveillance data were analysed. Adult (aged ≥20 years) patients admitted
through the ED... hiện toàn bộ
Autologous bone marrow‐derived cells with placental extract for healing excisional cutaneous wounds in animal modelInternational Wound Journal - Tập 10 Số 2 - Trang 167-176 - 2013
Ashok Akela, Samit Kumar Nandi, Partha Das, Dibyajyoti Banerjee, Subhasis Roy, Uttam Datta
Topical wound‐healing potential of autologous bone marrow‐derived nucleated
cells along with placental extract was evaluated in comparison with buffy coat
of autologous blood on full‐thickness cutaneous wounds in the thoracolumbar
region of 15 clinically healthy New Zealand rabbits. Three wounds of 2 × 2 cm,
one on the right side of the body and two on the left side of the midline were
created on ... hiện toàn bộ
Platelet‐rich plasma versus platelet‐poor plasma in the management of chronic diabetic foot ulcers: a comparative studyInternational Wound Journal - Tập 8 Số 3 - Trang 307-312 - 2011
Hany Setta, Ahmed Elshahat, Khalid Mohamed El-Sherbiny, Karim Massoud, Ikram Safe
Non healing diabetic foot ulcers and the resulting potential amputations present
significant costs to the health care system and reduce patient quality of life.
The goal of diabetic foot ulcer treatment is to obtain wound closure as
expeditiously as possible. The use of platelet‐rich plasma (PRP) to enhance
wound healing has increased dramatically over the last decade. However,
controversies exist... hiện toàn bộ
The use of negative pressure therapy and hyaluronic acid for the management of post‐traumatic lower limb injuryInternational Wound Journal - Tập 10 Số 5 - Trang 534-538 - 2013
Emanuele Cigna, Michele Maruccia, Valentina Sorvillo, P. Parisi, Francesca Palumbo, Maria Giuseppina Onesti
Management of severe limb trauma continues to challenge surgeons. Suitable
treatment should be individualised for each patient, taking into consideration
not only the wound extremity but also the associated injuries, age and
socioeconomic status of the patient with the goal to recover function and to
improve patient quality of life. The aim of this report is to present a severe
degloving multiplan... hiện toàn bộ
Diabetic foot infections: stepwise medical and surgical managementInternational Wound Journal - Tập 1 Số 2 - Trang 123-132 - 2004
David G. Armstrong, Benjamin A. Lipsky
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.

A simple and effective approach for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers with different Wagner gradesInternational Wound Journal - Tập 7 Số 3 - Trang 153-158 - 2010
Basavraj Nagoba, Rajan C Gandhi, Bharat Wadher, Arunkumar Rao, Amol Hartalkar, Sohan P Selkar
Diabetic foot infections are the major cause of morbidity. Infection is the
common sequel of diabetic foot ulceration that leads to delayed wound healing.
These infections are difficult to control. If not addressed well in time, they
may lead to amputation of foot. An attempt has been made to develop simple and
effective treatment modality by using citric acid as a sole antimicrobial agent
to cont... hiện toàn bộ
Pressure ulcers’ incidence, preventive measures, and risk factors in neonatal intensive care and intermediate care unitsInternational Wound Journal - Tập 15 Số 4 - Trang 571-579 - 2018
Pablo García‐Molina, Evelin Balaguer‐López, Francisco Pedro García‐Fernández, María de los Ángeles Ferrera‐Fernández, José-María Blasco, José Verdú Soriano
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... hiện toàn bộ
The national cost of hospital‐acquired pressure injuries in the United StatesInternational Wound Journal - Tập 16 Số 3 - Trang 634-640 - 2019
William V. Padula, Benjo A. Delarmente
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... hiện toàn bộ
