Pressure Ulcers in Orthopaedics
American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeon, 2010Pressure ulcers can be a devastating complication in the care of orthopaedic patients. Their presence leads to increased morbidity, mortality, and cost of care. Therapy and rehabilitation cannot progress on a normal postoperative course in the patient with a pressure ulcer. Risk factors for the development of pressure ulcers include spinal cord injury,

Does Pressure Cause Pressure Ulcers? An Inquiry Into the Etiology of Pressure Ulcers
Journal of the American Medical Directors Association, 2010Pressure ulcers remain problematic across health care settings, with prevalence and incidence changing little over the past 2 decades. Because external pressure is viewed as the chief factor in the development of pressure ulcers, considerable research has focused on pressure relief.

Clinics in Geriatric Medicine, 1997
Pressure ulcer assessment requires quantification of multiple parameters of the ulcer and periulcer tissue. Clinical assessment should include ulcer history (including etiology, duration, and prior treatment), anatomic location, stage, size (including length, width, and depth measured in centimeters), sinus tracts, undermining, tunneling, exudate or ...

Nursing Older People, 2010
This study compared two pressure ulcer risk scales (Braden and Waterlow) with a generic nursing Care Dependency Scale (CDS), which provides general information about the patient's individual need for care. The CDS is based on Virginia Henderson's theoretical framework and has 15 items covering physical and psychological aspects of daily living.

Molecular finds of pressure ulcer: A bioinformatics approach in pressure ulcer
Journal of Tissue Viability, 2017Understanding the biological processes underlying Pressure Ulcer (PU) is an important strategy to identify new molecular targets. Bioinformatics has emerged as an important screening tool for a broad range of diseases.This study aim of the current study is to investigate the protein-protein interaction in the PU context by bioinformatics.We performed a

Nursing Standard, 2005
This article discusses the different aspects of classifying pressure ulcers. It aims to increase understanding of the grading methods used and how their reliability and validity may be assessed. In turn, this aims to increase the potential for nurses to enhance their assessment and pressure ulcer prevention skills.

Pressure Ulcers and Pressure Relief Surfaces
Clinics in Plastic Surgery, 1998Pressure ulcer incidence has been reduced but not eliminated. A few patients still develop pressure ulcers despite using air-fluidized beds and other specialty beds. In the future, very high-risk patients may possibly be sent to space clinics to recuperate in zero gravity for extended periods.
