The Effects of Alginate Ag Dressing in the Pressure Injury Patients

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Wound infection and bleeding is a risk factor for pressure injury. Calcium alginate silver dressing (CASD) has been shown to be beneficial in a variety of wounds. However, evidence of its benefit in pressure injury(PI) patients in long-term care institutions, especially with respect to Taiwan population, is sparse. This study was to evaluate the effect of CASD and conventional wound dressings on the PI patients in long-term care institutions.

Clinical Trial Description

Background: Wound infection and bleeding is a risk factor for pressure injury. Calcium alginate silver dressing (CASD) has been shown to be beneficial in a variety of wounds. However, evidence of its benefit in PI patients in long-term care institutions, especially with respect to Taiwan population, is sparse. Objective: To evaluate the effect of CASD and conventional wound dressings on the PI patients in long-term care institutions. The study hypothesis that when using the CASD will improving wound bed status more than conventional dressing change. Design: Prospective, randomized trial Setting: Multiple center long-term care institutions in Taiwan. Methods: In this clinical trial, 200 PI patients will randomly assigned to treatment with either calcium alginate silver dressing or conventional wound dressings for up to 14 days or to the point of full reepithelialization of the wound. The length and depth of the studied wounds were recorded once a week. The instruments will using the PI measurement tool measured on day0, day7 and day14.The collected data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistical methods . The Mann-Whitney test was applied to compare primary endpoint between groups. Differences in secondary endpoint were also compared. Expected results: PI is an indicator of care quality in long-term care institutions. However, as the population ages, PI are prone to infection and bleeding problems, causing patients to have potential health problems such as sepsis and hemoglobin reduction. The results of this study will provide evidence-based care for wound dressing in long-term care institutions, thereby improving patient care. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
