The Danish automated Vendlet V5s repositioning system is intended to reduce pressure ulcer risk in patients and work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in caregivers. In two Belgian nursing homes, 13 residents with mobility levels C, D and E experienced the repositioning system, operated by 35
OBJECTIVE
To develop a predictive pressure ulcer risk assessment scale based on patient data.
METHODS
Detailed questionnaires, based on a review of the paediatric and adult literature and discussion with paediatric nurses with expertise in this area, were used to obtain data on patient
Bedsores are caused by prolonged pressure of soft tissues. Prevention is now better established. Better adapted mattresses should be used systematically. High fever and denutrition should be especially watched. Correct medical treatment has to provide faster cicatrisation if the pressure sore
Fever, infection, or both occurred at some time during hospitalization in 67% of patients on referral spinal cord injury service. A single cause of fever was generally found, with urinary tract and soft-tissue infections predominating; these responded well to appropriate management. In contrast,
BACKGROUND
Pressure ulcers resulting from continuous EEG (cEEG) monitoring in hospitalized patients have gained attention as a preventable medical complication. We measured their incidence and risk factors.
METHODS
We performed an observational investigation of cEEG-electrode-related pressure ulcers
Decubitus ulcers are a worldwide health care concern affecting tens of thousands of patients and costing over a billion dollars a year. Susceptibility to pressure ulcers comes from a combination of external factors (pressure, friction, shear force, and moisture), and internal factors (e.g. fever,
OBJECTIVE
to validate the content of the new nursing diagnosis, termed risk for pressure ulcer.
METHODS
the content validation with a sample made up of 24 nurses who were specialists in skin care from six different hospitals in the South and Southeast of Brazil. Data collection took place
The management of febrile conditions (differential diagnosis, therapy, prevention, resources) involves problems the rehabilitation of spinal cord injured patients has to face every day. Febrile periods accompany the entire life of the tetra or paraplegics from the acute traumatological stage through
The hospital course of a patient with a neurological disorder may be complicated by the development of fever, urinary tract infection (UTI), bacteremia, pneumonia, diarrhea, pressure sores, or intravenous line infections. An approach to each of these is provided in this review as well as
METHODS
Single case report.
OBJECTIVE
To present an unusual cause of fever in a patient with spinal cord injury (SCI).
METHODS
University Hospital, Belgium.
METHODS
A 52-year-old man with a complete T9 paraplegia was admitted to hospital with a 7 day history of fever above 39 degrees C without pain
The objective of this study was to investigate the extent to which internal risk factors for the development of decubitus ulcers are related to the blood flow response following the relief of a pressure load. There were 122 nursing home patients (43 men, 69 women, mean age: 81 +/- 8 years; range:
Pressure ulcers are a common and serious problem predominately among elderly persons who are confined to bed or chair. Additional factors associated with pressure ulcer development include cerebrovascular accident, impaired nutritional intake, urinary or fecal incontinence, hypoalbuminemia, and
Pressure ulcer development is a serious problem occurring predominately among elderly persons, who are confined to bed or chair. Factors associated with pressure ulcer development include: cerebrovascular accident, impaired nutritional intake, fecal incontinence, lymphocytopenia and a high
