BACKGROUND Hospital-acquired pressure ulcers are a common problem. Although a number of risk factors have been identified, relationships among risk profile characteristics and pressure ulcer outcomes have not been described in hospitalized patients. OBJECTIVES To describe patients' characteristics and risk factors associated with pressure ulcer outcome. METHODS A retrospective chart review ...
Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is an emerging opportunistic pathogen with an increasing prevalence of multidrug-resistant strains. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of S. maltophilia strain M30, isolated from a pressure ulcer in an elderly patient.
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare classification of pressure ulcers from administrative data with a gold standard assessment, specifically; pressure ulcers confirmed by an independent physical assessment performed by trained nurse surveyors. SETTING A retrospective analysis of pooled cross-sectional samples of inpatients assessed across 3 consecutive prevalence surveys in a large academic...
OBJECTIVE There is still little evidence regarding the type of mattress that is the best for preventing pressure ulcers (PUs). In a Dutch nursing home, a new type of overlay mattress (air inflated visco-elastic foam) was tested to analyze the opportunity for replacement of the normally used static air overlay mattress in its three-step PU prevention protocol In this small pilot the outcome meas...
The pressure ulcer of the ischial region is often accompanied by complete paraplegia in patients with spinal cord injury and is attributable to the compression and breakdown of tissue arising from constant sitting. Characteristically, a pressure ulcer of this region is circular and deep. We recently reconstructed ischial decubitus ulcer of 8 patients using simple-designed bilobed flap. In all c...
BACKGROUND Pressure sores are a significant secondary complication in spinal cord injured patients. A new indication for botulinum toxin type A is described here, in treatment of recurrent muscular spasms that had hampered the healing of a chronic buttock ulcer in a subject with severe spastic paraplegia. CASE REPORT A 27-year-old man with spastic paraplegia following traumatic spinal cord le...
To describe the prevalence and incidence density of hospital-acquired unavoidable pressure sores among patients aged ≥65 years admitted to acute medical units. A secondary analysis of longitudinal study data collected in 2012 and 2013 from 12 acute medical units located in 12 Italian hospitals was performed. Unavoidable pressure ulcers were defined as those that occurred in haemodynamically uns...
Wound healing and reduction of its recovery time is one of the most important issues in medicine. Wound is defined as disruption of anatomy and function of normal skin. This injury could be the result of physical elements such as surgical incision, hit or pressure cut of the skin and gunshot wound. Chemical or caustic burn is another category of wound causes that can be induced by acid or base...
Aim: The aim of the review was to determine the predictive validity of selected pressure ulcer risk assessment scales. Prediction of a risk of pressure ulcers is a priority issue in nursing. In the foreign literature, there are currently lots of research studies dealing with the validity of pressure ulcer risk assessment scales. Methods: The data sources were articles in three licenced, free an...
