Abstract: Malnutrition -as a fundamental aspect both in genesis as in healing of pressure ulcers -is the object of this update paper. Countless studies point out that malnutrition, immune function alterations, hypoalbuminemia, low hemoglobin levels, as well as low diet intake, as responsible for an increase in the risk of developing these lesions.

“…Segundo Gurgel e Abreu (8) além do enfermeiro, os profissionais da equipe multiprofissional têm um papel importante no cuidado ao paciente hospitalizado, visto que, o risco para desenvolver lesões está atrelado a uma boa assistência, sendo um grande indicador de saúde. A capacidade dos profissionais reconhecerem os pacientes em risco de desenvolvimento de LP somadas à avaliação do estado nutricional, estão entre as estratégias de prevenção de lesões de pele (12) . Visto isso, o Ministério da Saúde (MS) instituiu o Programa Nacional de Segurança do Paciente (PNSP) por meio da Portaria n° 529, de 1º de abril de 2013 (13) .…”

“…Σε ένα πανεπιστημιακό νοσοκομείο της Γενεύης στην Ελβετία, πραγματοποιήθηκαν τρεις συγχρονικές μελέτες το 1995 και το 1996, κατά τις οποίες ένας αριθμός 2.373 ασθενών χωρίς κατάκλιση κατά την εισαγωγή του, τέθηκε υπό παρακολούθηση (μέσος όρος ημερών: 9). Διαπιστώθηκε ότι η επίπτωση των κατακλίσεων ήταν 5,7 νέες κατακλίσεις για κάθε 1000 ασθενοημέρες και ότι ο κίνδυνος για ανάπτυξη κατακλίσεων ήταν δεκαπλάσιος στους πιο ηλικιωμένους σε σχέση με τους νεώτερους (Perneger et al, 1998 (Serpa & de Gouveia Santos, 2008).…”

Ασθενείς που προσλάμβαναν επαρκείς ποσότητες θερμίδων και πρωτεϊνών, είχαν την τάση να εμφανίζουν λιγότερο συχνά κατακλίσεις (Serpa & de Gouveia Santos, 2008). Ένας άλλος σημαντικός παράγοντας κινδύνου ανάπτυξης κατακλίσεων που αναφέρεται στη βιβλιογραφία είναι η ακράτεια ούρων και κοπράνων και για αυτό συμπεριλήφθησαν σε αυτή την ενότητα.…”
