Preventing ischial pressure ulcers: I. Review of neuromuscular electrical stimulation
Objective: Pressure ulcers (PUs) are common and debilitating wounds that arise when immobilized patients cannot shift their weight. Treatment is expensive and recurrence rates are high. Pathophysiological mechanisms include reduced bulk and perfusion of chronically atrophic muscles as well as prolonged occlusion of blood flow to soft tissues from lack of voluntary postural shifting of body weig...
متن کاملBiomechanical modeling to prevent ischial pressure ulcers.
With 300,000 paraplegic persons only in France, ischial pressure ulcers represent a major public health issue. They result from the buttocks׳ soft tissues compression by the bony prominences. Unfortunately, the current clinical techniques, with - in the best case - embedded pressure sensor mats, are insufficient to prevent them because most are due to high internal strains which can occur even ...
متن کاملPreventing pressure ulcers: a systematic review.
CONTEXT Pressure ulcers are common in a variety of patient settings and are associated with adverse health outcomes and high treatment costs. OBJECTIVE To systematically review the evidence examining interventions to prevent pressure ulcers. DATA SOURCES AND STUDY SELECTION MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CINAHL (from inception through June 2006) and Cochrane databases (through issue 1, 2006) were sea...
متن کاملPractice recommendations for preventing heel pressure ulcers.
Heels are the second most common anatomical location for pressure ulcers. A combination of risk factors, including pressure, may cause ulceration. Heel pressure ulcers are a particular concern for surgical patients. A review of the literature, including poster presentations, shows that controlled clinical studies to assess the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of available interventions are ...
متن کاملPreventing pressure ulcers: new lessons from Minnesota.
pressure ulcers during long surgical procedures. Data collected through the state’s adverse event reporting system in 2009 found 13% of the 122 Stage 3, Stage 4, and unstageable pressure ulcers reported were related to long surgical procedures. Attention to this potentially devastating complication has ramped up since Medicare announced it will no longer pay for Stage 3 and Stage 4 pressure ulc...
