Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The incidence of pressure sores is seen as a key quality indicator by the Department of Health (1993). The effects of pressure are dependent on its intensity and duration and are widely acknowledged as contributing to pressure sore formation. Therefore, all patients undergoing surgery should be regarded as being at risk. The first article in this two-part series, outlined the pathophysiology of pressure sores and the contributory factors present within the operating theatre (Vol 8(4): 211-17). This article suggests nursing interventions to reduce the incidence of pressure sore formation during the perioperative period. |
