متن کاملRandomised, controlled trial of alternating pressure mattresses compared with alternating pressure overlays for the prevention of pressure ulcers: PRESSURE (pressure relieving support surfaces) trial.
OBJECTIVE To compare whether differences exist between alternating pressure overlays and alternating pressure mattresses in the development of new pressure ulcers, healing of existing pressure ulcers, and patient acceptability. DESIGN Pragmatic, open, multicentre, randomised controlled trial. SETTING 11 hospitals in six NHS trusts. PARTICIPANTS 1972 people admitted to hospital as acute or...
متن کاملCost-effectiveness of pressure-relieving devices for the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers.
OBJECTIVES The cost-effectiveness of alternating pressure-relieving devices, mattress replacements, and mattress overlays compared with a standard hospital (high-specification foam mattress) for the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers in hospital patients in the United Kingdom was investigated. METHODS A decision-analytic model was constructed to evaluate different strategies to preve...
متن کاملReviewing the Literature on the Effectiveness of Pressure Relieving Movements
Sitting for prolonged periods of time increases seating interface pressures, which is known to increase the risk of developing pressure ulcers. Those at risk of developing pressure ulcers are advised to perform pressure relieving movements such as "pushups" or "forward leans" in order to reduce the duration and magnitude of pressure acting on the vulnerable ischial tuberosity region. The aim of...
متن کاملPressure RElieving Support SUrfaces: a Randomised Evaluation 2 (PRESSURE 2) photographic validation sub-study: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial
BACKGROUND PRESSURE 2 is a randomised evaluation of the clinical and cost effectiveness of two types of pressure relieving mattress for the prevention of pressure ulcers. The primary endpoint is the time to development of a Category ≥2 pressure ulcer. The current 'gold standard' for the identification of a Category ≥2 pressure ulcer is expert clinical assessment. Due to the appearance of the be...
