Significats de pressure ulcer en anglès

Risk-adjusted rates of pressure ulcer development were calculated from an administrative database.

Adherence to best practices related to pressure ulcer prevention was abstracted from medical records.

A sitting-acquired pressure ulcer (PU) is a common injury in wheelchair-bound patients.

One pressure ulcer and one unaffected skin area were photographed on each participating patient.

A pressure ulcer is an area of localized tissue destruction directly related to prolonged pressure.

The appearance and function of flaps and the recurrence of pressure ulcer were followed up.

A COS for pressure ulcer prevention trials is needed to overcome the noncomparability of outcomes.

Our results suggest that transfer activities creating shear force and friction correlate with pressure ulcer development.

Consequently, hypoalbuminemia alone should not be used to determine the timing of a procedure for pressure ulcer surgery.

Conclusion: Transfer activity, identified as an interventional factor, can be modified through nursing interventions to prevent pressure ulcer formation.

The effect of tension-free repair of the pressure ulcer and main flap donor area can be achieved in one operation.

Aim: To identify patients at risk for developing pressure ulcer among hospitalized patients and the prevalence of pressure ulcer in this group.

Subjects were then monitored for 2 weeks and the actual incidence of pressure ulcer formation was analyzed in the various risk groups.

In pressure ulcer patients, it appears that these risks are not due to hypoalbuminemia alone, but rather a long list of attendant comorbidities.

Purpose: To review the clinical utility of pressure ulcer risk assessment instruments and the comparative effectiveness of preventive interventions in persons at higher risk.

Objective: To examine quality improvement (QI) implementation in nursing homes, its association with organizational culture, and its effects on pressure ulcer care.
