Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
[A comparison of the efficacy of different wound dressing management techniques in preventing pressure ulcers].
Although high-technology wound dressings are widely used in clinical care worldwide, no evidence or discussions have been published regarding the efficacy of these dressings in preventing pressure ulcers. ⋯ It is recommended that patients in high-risk groups in clinical settings adopt strategies including repositioning and regular visual skin examinations. Also, hydrocolloid or foam dressings may be used as appropriate to prevent sacral pressure ulcers.
