Filter by:PENFUP FASE 2, It is a multicenter study by parallel conglomerates, planned in order to evaluate the efficacy between two levels of frequency of postural change in intensive care units for adults of hospitals in various regions of Colombia.
The purpose of this study is to determine if use of the Medela Invia Motion NPWT system supports acceptable progress towards the goal of therapy when treating patients with a variety of wound types during the evaluation period.
The study is a prospective, single arm, multicenter efficacy study, consisting of 60 subjects who will complete the study (note: if any patients are lost to follow-up or withdrawn, enrollment will increase to compensate for loss of these subjects). The subjects will receive up to 16 RD1 applications. In case of complete healing, subject will be called for one confirmatory visit two weeks later or before discharge from the SNF (the earlier of the two). Subject data will be kept in each site's records. All diabetic subjects' glycemic management will be performed by a qualified physician. All subjects will have wound care specialist or wound surgeon or dermatologist involved in their wound care
Peripheral venous catheterisation is a multi-daily practice in a paediatric ward. In our pediatrics department, nurses have observed for several years now the appearance of pressure sore-like skin lesions at the junction of the peripheral venous catheter with the extension tube. A ward habit has spontaneously developed of applying a compress under this junction. The objective is to minimize physical or emotional aggression as well as pain. Pain that is denied or not identified and not relieved is memorized by the child, which can have consequences on the perception of pain and the subsequent acceptance of care. To date, through their reading and research, investigators have been able to find articles mentioning the risks of pressure ulcers in children related to medical devices. However, few elements are developed concerning catheter-related pressure ulcers, especially on this specific technique for preventing injuries at the catheter-extension tube junction. Investigators have not found any recommendations on this subject. Thus, the aim of this study is to compare two peripheral venous catheter fixation devices, with compress and without compress, and to analyse the frequency of pressure ulcer occurrence and the intensity of this lesion.
Spinal cord injuries and people with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy or Infant Spinal Muscular Atrophy (ISA) are prone to pain and pressure sores associated with prolonged sitting. For this reason, it is recommended that people with spinal cord injuries release pressure every 15 to 30 minutes and motorized wheelchair users use the electric positioning functions at least 1 minute every hour. The aim is to prevent and/or reduce pain and pressure sores. These devices could help to observe daily the variability of users' pressure maps, their impact on occupational performance, the link with pain and redness and could propose customized adjustments.
This study aims to compare the effects of Negative-Pressure Wound Therapy and wet-to-dry dressing on Stages 3 and 4 pressure injuries, and to investigate the consistency of Three-Dimensional Wound Measurement Device findings with Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing Tool scores. This study is a randomized controlled trial. A total of 30 patients with Stages 3 and 4 pressure injuries were included in the study. The patients were divided into two groups: the experimental group or Negative-Pressure Wound Therapy group and the control or wet-to-dry dressing group. All patients received 3 rounds of treatment. Data were collected with a Patient Identification Form, Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing Tool and the findings of Three-Dimensional Wound Measurement Device. We found that granulation tissue formation was more significant in the experimental group (p < .05), and that there was more significant wound shrinkage (p < .05) with a more significant decrease in the Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing Tool scores (p < .05). The wounds were assessed with the Tool and the Three-Dimensional Wound Measurement device. Device measurements were found to be correlated with Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing Tool Tool findings (p < .05) There was a significant correlation between device-measured granulation findings and PUSH Tool score results of the experimental group's third measurements (p < .05). We conclude that Negative-Pressure Wound Therapy is an effective treatment method for pressure injuries, and Three-Dimensional Wound Measurement device is an usable wound assessment tool.
A Multi-center, Prospective Clinical Trial Evaluating the Combination of BlastX and Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (VAC).To evaluate the 4-week healing trajectory/wound area reduction with BlastX/VAC as compared with historical pre-study 4-week healing trajectory data and data from the US Wound Registry.
A prototype support surface has been designed which aims to successfully redistributes the pressures exerted and provides sufficient support to human soft tissue We want to prove the effectiveness of the prototype support surface by enlisting patients in a clinical trial, where we will assess the presence of pressure ulcers, and the ability of the patients to tolerate the support surface, and also measure the pressure over time and compare them to when the patients are using standard mattresses.
Individuals who use wheelchairs are at an increased risk of developing pressure injuries on the parts of the body that are in constant contact with the wheelchair. The development of pressure injuries can cause reduced mobility, reduced activity and participation, greater unemployment, increased risk for future pressure injury development, and premature death. There are numerous risk factors associated with developing pressure injuries. Individuals can reduce the risk of pressure injury formation by changing positions, weight-shifting, and using special cushions, but many people still struggle with pressure injuries. This study is designed to assess the clinical effectiveness of WiSAT (Wheelchair in-Seat Activity Tracker). WiSAT is a tool designed to help prevent the development of pressure ulcers by changing behaviors that can lead to pressure ulcers. WiSAT monitors and provides real-time feedback on weight shifts and pressure relief behaviors while sitting in a wheelchair.
Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is essential to treat acute hypercapnic respiratory failure. However, facial pressure ulcers appearing during facemask-delivered noninvasive ventilation are a source of NIV failure by interface intolerance. A Philips facemask (model : AF541 SE Oro-Nasal mask) has the particularity to display two options for its positioning : a usually used "over-the-nose" positioning or an "under-the-nose" positioning that is supposed to reduce the incidence of facial pressure ulcers while keeping in the same time the qualities of a standard facemask. The goal of this controlled randomized trial is to test the hypothesis that the "under-the-nose" positioning actually reduces the incidence of facial pressure ulcers, compared to the usually used "over-the-nose" positioning. Results of this trial should lead to the proposition of a new interface strategy to prevent facial pressure ulcers and therefore to improve the tolerance of NIV via the use of facemasks displaying an "under-the-nose" positioning.
