Prevalence of these ulcers can be achieved by reducing pressures at bony prominences since pressure ulcers are high-cost and high adverse event. The objective of this manuscript is to review recent articles, with particular emphasis on prevention of bedsore in physically disabled patients.

For more than 20 years pressure sore prevention and the treatment of established pressure sores have continued to generate research by nurses and those in allied disciplines. Pressure sore aetiology is established and much is known about the healing of chronic wounds, but little impact has been made on clinical nursing practice. The failure of nurses to implement research findings in this sphere is examined according to the framework suggested by Hunt (1981). One of the main reasons may be the failure of nurse educationalists to incorporate relevant material into basic and post-basic teaching programmes.

“…Eliopoulos tends to write prescriptively without referring the reader to the existing evidence, such as the review of pressure sore treatment by David. 40 Eliopoulos advocates, for example, the use of insulin on pressure sores when the promising findings of a pilot study 41 were not substantiated in later work by the same authors. 42 Work on wound healing and occlusive oxygen-permeable surgical dressings 43 are not mentioned, and so these advances in relevant knowledge will not be incorporated into nursing practice.…”
