Objective To investigate the effectiveness of pedicled superior gluteal artery perforator bilateral quadrilobed flaps for repairing large sacrococcygeal pressure sores. Methods Between June 2003 and August 2011, 6 paraplegia patients with large sacrococcygeal pressure sores were repaired with the pedicled superior gluteal artery perforator bilateral quadrilobed flaps. There were 2 males and 4 females with an average age of 45.6 years (range, 37-62 years). The mean disease duration was 8.4 months (range, 3-26 months). According to National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP) standard, 6 cases rated as degree IV. The size of pressure sores ranged from 15 cm × 13 cm to 18 cm × 16 cm. The size of flaps ranged from 18 cm × 14 cm to 21 cm × 15 cm. Results After operation, all flaps survived successfully. The wounds healed by first intention in 5 cases; partial dehiscence of incision occurred in 1 case, which was cured after dressing change for 26 days. Six patients were followed up 6-24 months (mean, 12.5 months). The appearance and texture of the flaps were smooth and soft with good elasticity and no ulceration. Conclusion Pedicled superior gluteal artery perforator bilateral quadrilobed flaps can repair large sacrococcygeal pressure sores. The appearance of flaps is smooth and has good compression-resistance effect.
Objective To formulate an evidence-based adjuvant therapeutic plan for a patient with large area pressure ulcers. Methods Based on an adequate assessment of the patient’s condition and using the principle of PICO, we searched The Cochrane Library (Issue 1, 2008), DARE (Issue 3, 2008), CCRT (Issue 1, 2008), MEDLINE (1980~ March 2008) and Chinese Journal Full-text Database CNKI (1979~2008) for the best available clinical evidence on adjuvant therapy of large area pressure ulcers with infrared rays, nutrition support and some special overlays. Results Two systematic reviews and three randomized controlled trials were included. According to the current evidence, as well as the patient’s clinical condition and preference, a comprehensive therapeutic plan was given to the patient. And in the next three months with the therapeutic plan, the patient’s large area pressure ulcers had already recovered. Conclusion Evidence based approaches can help us develop the best comprehensive therapeutic plan for the patient and will help improve the therapeutic results for patients with large area pressure ulcers.
Objective To investigate the current status of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and clinical controlled trials (CCTs) on pressure sore in China. Methods We searched Chinese Journal of Nursing, Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing and Journal of Nurses Training in CNKI and VIP (January 2000 to December 2005) for Chinese articles on pressure sore, using "pressure sore", "bed sore", "nursing", "treatment", "prevention", "evaluation" and "management" as search terms. The retrieved articles were summarized. Results We identified 16 reports (10 RCTs and 6 CCTs). The studies were judged to be of low quality.There was one study on the evaluation, two on the prevention, and 13 on the treatment of pressure sores. Conclusion The current studies on pressure sore in China are focusing on treatment. Randomized controlled trials of large sample size of pressure sore are needed to improve nursing quality.
ObjectiveTo explore the application of 10% sodium chloride for stage-Ⅲ pressure ulcer debridement. MethodsAccording to the standard, 68 stage-Ⅲ pressure ulcer cases were selected from January 2011 to December 2014. All the patients had yellow surface and positive bacterium cultivation suggesting wound infection. They were randomly divided into control group and trial group. The control group used traditional treatment for debridement, while the trial group used 10% sodium chloride, until the end of debridement where the granulation became fresh and bacterium cultivation negative. Then we compared these two groups in terms of debridement time, wound drainage, wound smell, granulation growth, pain score and cost. ResultsThe control group debridement time was 18-32 days, averaging (22.4±10.8) days, and the trial group debridement time was 5-13 days, averaging (11.6±4.0) days (P<0.05). The control group wound drainage ratings score was 6.70±2.87, while the trial group wound drainage ratings score was 3.65±1.23 (P<0.05). In terms of the wound smell, the control group had a score of 2.74±1.62, and the score for the experimental group was 1.26±0.51 (P<0.05). The average cost of the control group was (975.00±10.29) yuan, while the experimental group was (626.00±8.18) yuan (P<0.05). ConclusionThe application of 10% sodium chloride for stage-Ⅲ pressure ulcer debridement can shorten debridement time, promote the growth of granulation and reduce the economic burden, which is worth clinical promotion.
ObjectiveTo sum up the clinical characteristics,surgical management,and effectiveness of pressure sore of sinus type. MethodsBetween January 2009 and April 2013,17 patients with 19 pressure sores of sinus type after traumatic paraplegia were treated,and the clinical data were analyzed retrospectively.There were 11 males and 6 females with an average age of 27.4 years (range,17-49 years).The median disease duration was 1.5 years (range,6 months to 7 years).Of 17 cases,there were 14 primary cases and 3 recurrent cases; 10 focuses of 8 cases were classified as simple sinus type,and 9 focuses of 9 cases as complex sinus type,which had a false synovial sheath complicated with one to four "second sinus".The pressure sore of sinus type majorly located at the ischial tuberosity.The size of pressure sore ranged from 1.5 cm×1.0 cm to 3.0 cm×2.0 cm,and the length of "second sinus" ranged from 8 to 32 cm with an average of 17 cm.After the false synovial sheath was totally excised,the wound was repaired by local sliding or rhombus flaps at the first or second stage in patients with simple sinus type pressure sore.On the basis of excising the false synovial sheath,the "second sinus" was totally removed in the patients with complex sinus type pressure sore. ResultsWound dehiscence occurred in 1 case of simple sinus type pressure sore at 4 days,which was cured after it was sutured again.Wound infection occurred at 9,17,and 23 days respectively in 3 cases of complex sinus type pressure sore,which was cured after second debridement and necrosis tissues removal.The other wounds healed by first intention,and the flaps totally survived.All patients were followed up 6-12 months (mean,9.3 months).No recurrence was observed. ConclusionAccording to the clinical characteristics,pressure sore of sinus type could be divided into simple sinus type and complex sinus type.The key of successful treatment is to thoroughly excise false synovial sheath and "second sinus".
目的 为老年股骨颈骨折的患者制定合理的循证护理方案。 方法 在充分了解老年股骨颈患者病情的基础上，根据PICO原则，提出临床问题并转化为易于检索的形式，于2012年5月检索了Cochrane系统评价数据库（CDSR）、Cochrane对照试验注册中心（CCTR）、效果评论摘要数据库（DARE）、Medline、国家指南网（NGC）、PubMed 网站、中国生物医学文献数据库（CBM）以及复旦大学JBI循证护理中心，获取并评价相关的系统评价、随机对照试验以及临床指南。 结果 共检索到3篇系统评价、2篇临床随机对照试验和1篇临床实践指南。根据检索的结果，与患者及家属沟通后，选用Braden量表对患者进行压疮评估；指导患者每2小时翻身；进行腰背肌的锻炼，2～4 h/次，第1天5遍/次，之后逐渐递增为10～20遍/次；指导摄入高能量、高蛋白食物。1周后，患者机体状况良好，顺利接受手术治疗。 结论 采取循证护理的方法可以为患者提供科学、个性化的护理。
