PRESSURE INJURY

This study tested a special wound dressing called MicroMatrix Flex on 25 adults with deep or tunneled wounds, such as pressure injuries, diabetic ulcers, or infected wounds. The goal was to see how safely and quickly the dressing helped close these wounds over 12 weeks. Researche…

This study tested a new approach for treating severe bedsores (pressure injuries) in patients aged 55 and older. The treatment combined ultrasonic debridement (using sound waves to clean the wound) with photon therapy (light treatment) plus standard wound care. Out of 118 partici…

This study tested two special pillows—a fluidized positioner and a memory foam pillow—to see which better prevents pressure injuries on the heads of children in the pediatric intensive care unit. Thirty-two children on ventilators were enrolled. The goal is to find a simple way t…

This study tested a mobile app designed to teach caregivers of bedridden patients how to prevent pressure injuries (bedsores). The app included educational modules, daily care tracking, and a way to ask a nurse questions. Researchers wanted to see if using the app for six months …

This study tested whether a mobile application could help nurses and caregivers better manage pressure injuries (bedsores) in people receiving home care. Thirty participants were followed for 28 days, with caregivers using the app to track wound healing and receive reminders. The…

This study tested whether changing how fast pressure increases during hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) can lower the chance of ear pain and injury. Over 1,500 people receiving HBOT were randomly assigned to one of two compression schedules. The goal was to see if a non-linear (sl…

This study looked at medical records of 500 adult ICU patients to see if computer algorithms could predict who might develop pressure injuries (bedsores). The researchers used data like lab results and nursing notes to test different prediction methods. No treatments or patient c…

This study tested a training program for 30 intensive care nurses to improve their knowledge and care for medical device-related pressure injuries (like sores from tubes or masks). Nurses learned through a structured program and were tested before, right after, and one month late…

This study looked at 82 intensive care patients to see how the time they spend in one position affects their risk of developing pressure injuries (bedsores). Researchers checked skin changes like redness, bruising, and moisture, and used a standard risk scale. The goal was to fin…

This study tested whether video-based training helps caregivers of patients at risk for pressure injuries. 270 caregivers were split into three groups: video training, standard verbal training, or routine care. Researchers measured changes in knowledge, attitudes, and caregiving …

This study tested whether an intelligent computer program could help nurses better prevent and manage bedsores (pressure injuries) in hospitalized patients. Over 75,000 patients took part, and researchers compared data before and after using the program to see if it improved care…
