Comparison of the Effects of Two Different Wound Dressing on the Pressure Injury Patients in Long-term Care Institutions
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Alginate silver silver ion dressing for Pressure Injury and Long-Term Care. Completed, enrolled 160 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Wound infection and bleeding is a risk factor for pressure injury. Calcium alginate silver dressing (CASD) has been shown to be beneficial in a variety of wounds. However, evidence of its benefit in pressure injury(PI) patients in long-term care institutions, especially with respect to Taiwan population, is sparse. This study was to evaluate the effect of CASD and conventional wound dressings on the PI patients in long-term care institutions.
