Negative pressure wound therapy for treating pressure ulcers. Pressure ulcers, also known as bedsores, pressure sores, or pressure injuries, are localised damage to the skin and underlying soft tissue, usually caused by intense or long-term pressure, shear, or friction. Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) has been widely used in the treatment of pressure ulcers, but its effect needs to be further clarified. This is an update of a Cochrane Review first published in 2015. To evaluate the effectiveness of NPWT for treating adult with pressure ulcers in any care setting. On 13 January 2022, we searched the Cochrane Wounds Specialised Register; the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL); Ovid MEDLINE (including In-Process & Other Non-Indexed Citations); Ovid Embase

Factors associated with pressure ulcer and dehydration in long-term care settings in Ontario, Canada. Pressure ulcers and dehydration are common conditions among residents of long-term care facilities that result in negative health effects. They have been associated with signs of neglect and increased 30-day mortality among LTC residents. However, they are both preventable and with proper care can be effectively managed and treated. We conducted a retrospective cohort study to examine factors associated with pressure ulcers and dehydration among long-term care residents in the province of Ontario, Canada. Results indicated that close to one-fifth of residents were dehydrated (17.3%) or had a pressure ulcer (18.9%) during the study period. Advanced age was significantly associated

Preventive effect of cluster nursing on pressure ulcers in orthopedic patients and predictive value of serum IL-6 and TNF-α for the occurrence of pressure ulcers. To determine the effect of cluster nursing on pressure ulcer prevention and comfort of orthopedic patients. A total of 124 orthopedic inpatients admitted to the Seventh Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from July 2018 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 66 cases received cluster nursing who were assigned into the observation group and the other 58 cases received routine nursing and were assigned into the control group. The incidence of pressure ulcers, the degree of pressure the ulcer, quality of life-brief (QOL-BREF), self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), and self-rating depression scale (SDS) scores

Clinical evaluation of continuous irrigation with Bikerui combined with negative pressure closed drainage and platelet-rich plasma technique for treatment of stage III-IV pressure ulcer. As a catastrophic complication of bedridden and elderly patients, pressure ulcer usually continuously affects patients' health and quality of life, so the daily care of wounds is attached great importance in clinic. This work investigated the effect of Bikerui disinfectant + vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) + platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy on patients with stage III ~ IV pressure sore. In this work, 110 patients with pressure ulcer (PU) treated in our hospital were enrolled and were randomly divided into an experimental group (Exp group) and a control group (Ctrl group) by a blind selection method

The application effect of autologous platelet-rich plasma combined with negative pressure sealing drainage technology in pressure ulcer wound repair. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of combining autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) with negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) for the repair of pressure ulcers. We included 90 patients with pressure ulcers from General Technology Gemstone time (infection control time, wound healing time, hospital stay), levels of inflammatory markers (C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, white blood cell count), pain scores (numerical rating scale), Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing scores, and incidence of complications. The observation group demonstrated a total effective rate of 95.56% (43/45), significantly higher than the control

A Japanese man with community-onset carbapenem-resistant Stutzerimonas nitrititolerans bacteremia and a sacral pressure ulcer: a case report. Stutzerimonas is a recently proposed genus comprising strains formerly classified as Pseudomonas stutzeri. The genus includes at least 16 identified species. Stutzerimonas nitrititolerans, previously known as Pseudomonas nitrititolerans, was initially isolated from a bioreactor. Only one case of human infection has been reported to date, and its pathogenicity remains unknown. We present a case of community-acquired S. nitrititolerans bacteremia in a 77-year-old Japanese man with a sacral pressure ulcer. On admission for cerebral infarction, empirical ampicillin/sulbactam was administered because of an infected sacral pressure ulcer. Blood cultures

Negative pressure wound therapy promotes wound healing by down-regulating miR-155 expression in granulation tissue of diabetic foot ulcers. Our study aims to investigate the effect of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) on microRNA-155 (miR-155) in the granulation tissue of patients suffering from diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) and its correlation with wound healing. A total of sixty patients healing rates were assessed in the NPWT group, and the correlation between variations in miR-155 expression (ΔmiR-155) and wound healing was analyzed pre and post NPWT treatment. In vitro experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of negative pressure on variations of miR-155 expression, as well as proliferation, migration, and apoptosis in normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDFs). The NPWT

Measurement of plantar pressure differences in the contralateral limb when using offloading modalities for diabetic foot ulcerations. This study investigated the effect of various offloading devices commonly used for the management of diabetic foot ulcerations on peak plantar pressure and pressure-time integral of the contralateral limb. A quantitative, randomised and within-subject repeated measures study was conducted in an outpatient gait laboratory. Outpatients with unilateral diabetic foot ulcers and adequate perfusion to the lower limb without an intrinsic limb-length discrepancy who were able to walk were recruited for the study. They were also required to understand English. An in-shoe pressure sensor was placed in the participants' everyday shoes between their feet and insoles

Utility of 3D Wound Assessment in Monitoring Granulation Tissue Velocity Following Negative-Pressure Wound Therapy in Diabetic Foot Ulcers. Wound healing in diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) is challenging and often requires extensive debridement and in some cases leads to amputation. Negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT) can be utilized for DFUs. The optimal time frame for successful NPWT lacks

Attitude and preventive practices of pressure ulcers among orthopedic nurses in a tertiary hospital in Ghana. Pressure ulcers (PUs), which affect millions of people worldwide, are among the five most prevalent hospitalized cases causing adverse impairment. Nevertheless, pressure ulcers are largely preventable, and their management depends on their severity. The authors, therefore, explored the attitude and preventive practices of pressure ulcers among orthopedic nurses in a tertiary hospital in Ghana. An exploratory descriptive qualitative approach was employed for this study to help researchers explore the attitude and practices toward PU (Pressure Ulcer). Purposive sampling approach was employed, and data was analyzed using thematic content analysis. The sample size for this study was 30
