Repositioning for treating pressure ulcers

Perfil epidemiológico das lesões por pressão em um hospital escola no Oeste do Paraná

“…18 A distribuição das regiões corporais afetadas pelo desenvolvimento de lesões na amostra estudada está apresentada na Tabela 3, corroborando com estudos que evidenciam a topografia sacral como a mais acometida, apresentando em média 70% dos pacientes acometidos por lesão. 3 Tabela 3. Distribuição das lesões notificadas de acordo com a região corporal de localização.…”

Necrotic Plaques on the Ears of a Patient With COVID-19

“…However, patients who are persistently hypoxemic often require prone positioning, subjecting other anatomic sites to prolonged pressures that exceed local capillary pressure. 1 Prone positioning, often greater than 16 hours a day, is used as a therapy for moderate-to-severe cases of COVID-19 that require intubation. A retrospective cohort study highlighted the high incidence of facial pressure injuries in patients with severe COVID-19 who require prone positioning (47.6%), with a substantial association of duration of proning with ulcer development.…”

A randomised controlled clinical trial of repositioning, using the 30° tilt, for the prevention of pressure ulcers

“…2005, Vanderwee et al. 2007b) and none that have determined its effect in treatment (Moore & Cowman 2009). The two studies of prevention have methodological issues, such as confounding extraneous variables that may be exerting an effect and similarities between the control and experimental groups, which influence the confidence that one may have on the study outcomes.…”
