OBJECTIVE Present study is designed to evaluate the effects of preventing pressure ulcer in surgical patients with two types of pressure-relieving mattresses. METHODS 1074 surgical patients from 12 hospitals in China were divided into A group (static air mattress with repositioning every 2 hours, n = 562) and B group (power pressure air mattress with repositioning every 2 hours, n = 512). The...

Hospitals in the US are increasingly concerned with the rising number of hospital-acquired pressure ulcers. To reduce its 2002-2003 average hospital-acquired pressure ulcer prevalence rate of 9.2%, a regional medical center in southeastern US initiated a process improvement and education program. Quarterly pressure ulcer prevalence studies were conducted and the Medical Intensive Care Unit was ...
OBJECTIVE To compare the predictive validity of 4 pressure ulcer risk assessment tools. METHODS Prospective clinical design in which 230 subjects free of pressure ulceration on admission were assessed using the Braden, Gosnell, Norton, and Waterlow scales within 48 hours of admission. Subjects' skin condition was assessed once every 24 hours for a minimum of 14 days to identify any skin break...
BACKGROUND Pressure ulcers are one of the most underrated conditions in critically ill patients. Despite the introduction of clinical practice guidelines and advances in medical technology, the prevalence of pressure ulcers in hospitalized patients continues to escalate. Currently, consensus is lacking on the most important risk factors for pressure ulcers in critically ill patients, and no ris...
Background: Despite technological and scientific advances, Hospital Acquired Pressure Ulcers (HAPUs) remain a common, expensive, but preventable adverse event. The global prevalence ranges from 9% to 53% while three million people develop HAPUs in the United States 60,000 die associated complications. HAPU is reported as high 42% ICUs (ICU) costing on average $48,000 clinically manage. Objectiv...
BACKGROUND Fecal contamination is a major challenge in patients in acute/critical care settings that is associated with increased cost of care and supplies and with development of pressure ulcers, incontinence dermatitis, skin and soft tissue infections, and urinary tract infections. OBJECTIVES To assess the economic impact of fecal containment in bedridden patients using 2 different indwelli...
Previous work on the activation of mammalian eggs by cold has involved treatment of the eggs in vitro, followed by replacement in the Fallopian tube (Chang, 1954), or chilling of the eggs in vivo, by the application of cold water or ice to the tube (Pincus & Shapiro, 1940; Thibault, 1949; Austin & Braden, 1954a, b). In the rat, only the latter method has been employed. As a result of the cold-s...
To assess relationships among food intake, anthropometrics, and wound severity, we studied 31 home care clients with pressure ulcers (PUs) or venous stasis ulcers (VSUs). Anthropometric variables (weight, height, waist circumference [WC]) were measured according to standard methodologies. Risk for PU development was assessed using the Braden Pressure Ulcer Risk Assessment score and wound severi...
