Russell, L. J.; Reynolds, T. M.; Park, C.; Rithalia, S.; Gonsalkorale, M.; Birch, J. et al.: Randomized Clinical Trial Comparing 2 Support Surfaces: Results of the Prevention of Pressure Ulcers Study. I: Advances in Skin and Wound Care, 2003(16), s. 317-327.Language: EngelskSummary: The objective of this study was to determine whether a viscoelastic polymer (energy absorbing) foam mattress was superior to a standard hospital mattress for pressure ulcer prevention and to analyze the cost-effectiveness in comparison with standard hospital mattresses. Cinclusions: Regardless of prevention routine, pressure ulcers occur. In this study, the experimental equipment showed statistical significance to standard equipment for prevention of blanching erythema; significance was not achieved for nonblanching erythema. Trend and survival analysis show that a larger study is required to determine whether this nonsignificant difference is genuine.
