Hosp pressure ulcers
July 12, 2016
REDUCING the risk of hospital
acquired pressure ulcers (HAPUs)
is a significant achievement for any
hospital care team and has been
recorded by the adult intensive
care unit at Eskenazi Health,
Indianapolis, Indiana, US, between
2012 and 2013, and published in
the American Journal of Critical
Care Nurses.
Sponsored by medical technology
and wound dressing specialist
company Smith & Nephew, the
study was able to demonstrate
a 69% reduction in HAPUs with
a potential cost saving of almost
$1m, using Allevyn Life, a silicone
foam dressing.
