This article is related with the
clinical issue of interest as it is
dealing with the prevention of
pressure ulcers. This paper had
shown the importance of
reducing the formation of
pressure ulcer. The patients in
the intensive care unit are
more prone to develop the
pressure ulcers. So the patients
of the intensive care unit were
given the importance
This article has been chosen as
this article is related with the
clinical issue. The barriers and
facilitators to prevent the
formation of pressure ulcer
has been discussed. The
pressure ulcers are localized
damages of the skin and the
tissues underlying the skin.
The individuals or the patients
who are at risk of evolving
pressure ulcer includes those
people who are severely ill,
aged persons, suffering from
reduced mobility and lack of.
So most of the residents of
nursing home are lying at the
risk.
This research paper is related
with the clinical inquiry as it is
dealing with the prevention of
tracheostomy related pressure
ulcers acquired in the hospital.
Since he last few years, there
has been an increasing
emphasis on the improvement
of the quality of the health
care mainly delivered in the
United States.
This article is related with this clinical
issue as it is dealing with the critical
care of patients who are at the risk of
several risk factors for developing
pressure ulcer and implementing the
prevention interventions have shown
in reducing the risk of the diseases.
The aim of this research paper
is to identify the efficiency of
several coated soft silicon
foam coverings for inhibiting
the formation of pressure ulcer
in the units of intensive care.
The objective of this papers is
to understand the aspects of
prevent the formation of
pressure ulcers in the nursing
care homes. The objective of
this research paper is to
identify and understand the
effective barriers and the
facilitators to the practices.
The objective of the study was
to identify the adjustment of
the perioperative tracheostomy
methods of care can reduce the
chances of pressure ulcer of
tracheostomy related or not.
The aim of this research study is to
decrease the incidences of pressure
ulcer in the units of acute care. The
study was a quality improvement
study.
