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.

Conditions

  • Pressure Injury
  • Long-Term Care

Interventions
