“…Prevalence and incidence rates of PU differ between studies, since they depend directly of the conditions in which these are carried out, as well as the inclusion and exclusion criteria of analysis. A recent study carried out with 358 patients of legal age in India, points overall PU hospital prevalence of 7.8% [21], while studies developed in Brazilian States point indexes between 13.9%, 30.9% and 82.0% [4][5]12].…”

Background: Pressure ulcers represent a serious public health problem, serving as a quality indicator (negative) the assistance provided by the health services. The aim of this study was to identify the prevalence of pressure ulcers in the Intensive Care Unit of a University Hospital in João Pessoa-PB and check the associations between sociodemographic and clinical data of customers and risk factors for the development of these. Methods: The study of the sectional, quantitative, carried out with 78 patients in the Intensive Care Unit of a University Hospital in João Pessoa. Data were collected from medical record information from January to December 2014. Results: Ten patients had pressure ulcers, and 6 already admitted with injuries and the 4 developed during hospitalization in the studied sector. The prevalence of these lesions in the sample was 12.8%. Has been identified as risk factors associated with pressure ulcer (p <0.05) the reason for hospitalization, pre-existing conditions, level of consciousness, ventilation, peripheral perfusion, hydration and the use of antidepressant/anti-inflammatory drugs. Conclusion: The results underscore the importance of this study for academic and professional environment, with regard to the promotion of knowledge of some risk variables for ulcers, being able to influence

Purpose To analyze whether a viscoelastic mattress support surface can reduce the incidence of stage 2 pressure injuries compared to a standard hospital mattress with pyramidal overlay in critically ill patients. Method A randomized clinical trial with intention-to-treat analysis was carried out recruiting patients with Braden scale ≤14 on intensive care unit admission from April 2016 to April 2017. Patients were allocated into two groups: intervention group (viscoelastic mattress) and control group (standard mattress with pyramidal overlay). The level of significance adopted was 5%. Results A total of 62 patients were included in the study. There was a predominance of males (53%) and the mean age was 67.9 (SD 18.8) years. There were no differences in clinical or severity characteristics between the patients in the control group and the intervention group. Pressure injuries occurred in 35 patients, with a median time of 7 days (ITQ 4–10) from admission. The frequency of pressure injuries was higher in the control group (80.6%) compared to the intervention group (32.2%; p < 0.001). Conclusions Viscoelastic support surfaces reduced the incidence of pressure injuries in moderate or higher risk critically ill patients when compared to pyramidal support surfaces.

Reconstrução Sacral Com Retalho Bilobado Fasciocutâneo Glúteo-Posterior De Coxa

Pela frequência e dificuldade de manejo, as úlceras sacrais demandam grande dedicação e apuro técnico do cirurgião plástico e da equipe multiprofissional, visto que as feridas sacrais possuem uma taxa de recidiva maior que 80%. Mesmo os retalhos fasciocutâneos sendo mais finos que os miocutâneos, o que pode parecer uma desvantagem, sua rotação e adaptação são mais fáceis. Além disso, o risco de recorrência após reconstruções é menor quando comparado aos retalhos miocutâneos. Com a evolução do conhecimento e das técnicas anatômicas, a aplicação clínica dos retalhos fasciocutâneos para a reconstrução sacral obteve boa aceitação como uma alternativa útil para reconstrução de lesões por pressão isquiáticas e trocantéricas. Neste trabalho demonstramos mais uma opção a ser considerada, a versatilidade do retalho bilobado fasciocutâneo e seu uso de forma não convencional, realizando uma cobertura extensa na região sacral com uso unilateral de uma área doadora lateral.
