Paraplegic pressure sore frequency versus circulation measurements.
Paraplegic subjects (N = 34) were examined to determine the association of pressure sore history with respect to ankle pressure ratio and buttocks cutaneous plethysmographic harmonic persistence. No relationship was found between pressure sore history and ankle pressure ratio. No significant difference in ankle pressure ratios exists for those who have a pressure sore history as compared to tho...
متن کاملChallenging the pressure sore paradigm.
This study determines the effectiveness of a new low-unit-cost support system in patients at very high risk of developing pressure sores. In a prospective randomised controlled trial, a low-pressure inflatable mattress and cushion system (Repose) was compared to a dynamic support mattress (Nimbus II) used in conjunction with an alternating-pressure cushion (Alpha TranCell) in 80 patients with f...
متن کاملQuantitative assessment of pressure sore generation and healing through numerical analysis of high-frequency ultrasound images.
Abstract-This article focuses on the development of a method to quantitatively assess the healing process of artificially induced pressure sores using high-frequency (20 MHz) ultrasound images. We induced sores in guinea pigs and monitored predefined regions on days 3, 7, 14, and 21 after sore generation. We extracted relevant parameters regarding the tissue echographic structure and attenuatio...
متن کاملSingle versus triplicate measurements of blood pressure and heart rate.
The mean of rapidly repeated duplicate or triplicate measurements is often used in studies of antihypertensive drugs. Forty patients with hypertension had triplicate measurements of blood pressure and heart rate on two occasions, 1 week apart, during placebo treatment. The average difference between the first measurement and the mean of the triplicate measurements was -0.3 mm Hg. The average co...
متن کاملCushions and specialist chairs for pressure sore management.
Many patients spend more time sitting out of bed than being cared for in bed. Consequently, the demand for specialist support surfaces for chairs to reduce the risk of pressure damage while the patient is up sitting is rising. This product focus examines a number of seating support surfaces produced by Karomed.
