Pressure sore prevention and care progress.doc

 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 10 Pressure sore prevention and care progress [Abstract] not only to patients with pressure ulcers pain, complications and even death, but also significantly prolong length of stay, increased economic burden [1]. With the continuous development of medical science, foreign nurses on the awareness and pressure sores prevention and control has much in common, but there are differences [2]. In this paper, the cause of pressure ulcers, stage, deadly hazards, prevention and care were reviewed. [Keywords:] pressure sore; hazards; stages; control; Care Pressure ulcer long-term pressure on the body of local tissue blood disorder [3], lack of nutrition resulting in skin tissue loss of normal function, caused by tissue destruction and necrosis, also known as pressure ulcers (PU). It not only can occur in supine patients occurred in the seat or use of orthopedic devices for patients, general hospitals occurrence rate of 2.5% ~ 8.8%, or even as high as 11.6%. Therefore, pressure ulcer prevention and care is essential [4]. 1 reason 1.1 external 1.1.1 Pressure is the most important pathogenic factor in organizations such as the prolonged pressure on the ultra-2.7kPa (20mmHg) organized low pressure that can cause pressure sores caused by ischemic injury. Bear 9.35kPa (70mmHg) pressure sustained over 2h irreversible tissue and can appear ischemic changes, induced necrosis, suggesting the formation of pressure sores from time to time will need to relieve stress, [5]. 1.1.2 friction, shear force, moisture, pollution, friction can increase the local skin temperature, the temperature rise 1 to strengthen the tissue metabolism and increased oxygen requirement of 10%. In the continuing case of stress-induced hypoxia , the temperature will be more prone to increase of pressure ulcers. shear force perpendicular to the direction of stress than the more dangerous, raising the head of the bed when the skin and sacrum sacrococcygeal dislocation, v
