摘要:

This study describes the sequential histopathological changes that occur in the development of pressure ulcers experimentally induced in the fuzzy rat model. Computer-controlled pressure was applied for six hours at a maximum of five sessions, to skin over the greater trochanter of anesthetized rats. Lesions were similar, but more pronounced after the third, fourth, and fifth sessions as compared to the first or second sessions. Lesions developed first in the muscle rather than the dermis or epidermis. The lesion most often associated with pressure was necrosis of the panniculus carnosus muscle, often accompanied by damage to underlying adipose tissue. Recurrent pressure results in increasingly severe damage to the vascular system and parenchyma, consistent with an ischemia/reperfusion insult initiated through a free radical mechanism.

摘要:

This article explores the legal ramifications flowing from the negligent treatment of pressure ulcers. A review of litigated cases provides examples of how American courts deal with this complex condition. References that may be used to reduce vulnerability to malpractice claims are provided.

摘要:

The bed environment and support surface have long been recognized as important in the care of the chronically ill. A review of specialty beds from the 19th and early 20th century was done from the collection of medical trade catalogs at the New York Academy of Medicine. It has been said “Past Is Prologue.” Whether or not this is true, examination of selected examples of these historical beds can provide an unique and interesting perspective on contemporary practice.

摘要:

The purpose of this study in long-term care facilities was to determine the factors associated with the common pressure ulcer prevention practice of turning and positioning of residents. The study showed there was a deficit in performance of two-hour turning, but not in knowledge that turning should be done. The chief reason for the aides' performance deficit was a lack of specific assignment to the task as well as a lack of time and staff. Head nurses and directors of nursing acknowledged these problems and also cited copious paperwork that prevented them from spending the necessary time to monitor compliance to facility policies on turning and positioning.
