PRESSURE INJURY

This study tested a special wound dressing called MicroMatrix Flex in 25 people with deep or complicated wounds, such as pressure sores or diabetic ulcers. The goal was to see if it safely helps close these wounds over 12 weeks. Researchers measured how fast the wound openings an…

This study tested a combination of ultrasonic cleaning and light therapy for severe bedsores (stage 3 or 4) in 118 patients aged 55 and older. The goal was to see if this approach could fully heal wounds and reduce pain during dressing changes. Results suggest the combined treatm…

This study tested a mobile app that teaches family caregivers how to prevent pressure injuries (bedsores) in bedridden patients. The app also aimed to reduce caregiver stress and burden. 46 patient-caregiver pairs took part, with half using the app for 6 months and half receiving…

This study looked at whether showing caregivers short videos about pressure injury (bedsores) prevention helps them learn more and care better. About 270 caregivers of patients at risk for pressure injuries took part. Some watched training videos, some got standard verbal trainin…

This study looked at medical records of 500 adults in the intensive care unit to see if computer algorithms could predict who might develop pressure injuries (bedsores). Researchers used data like age, lab results, and nursing care details to test different prediction methods. Th…

This study looked at whether the amount of time intensive care patients stay in one position affects their risk of developing pressure injuries (bedsores). Researchers observed 82 critically ill patients, checking for skin changes like redness, bruising, and swelling, as well as …

This study tested whether a smart computer program could help nurses prevent and manage bedsores (pressure injuries) in hospitalized patients. Over 75,000 adults who stayed in the hospital for at least 2 hours took part. Researchers compared data before and after using the progra…

This study tested a new training program for intensive care nurses to improve their knowledge and care for medical device-related pressure injuries (like bedsores from tubes or masks). Thirty nurses completed the training and were tested before, right after, and one month later. …
