摘要
压疮(PU)是全球公认的医疗保健问题,其发生在很大程度上是可以预防的,这促使人们实施有针对性的预防策略。风险评估是规划个性化预防措施的第一步。然而,尽管风险评估已经使用了很长时间,而且目前已有超过 70 种风险评估工具,但褥疮仍然是一个令人严重关切的问题。包括人工智能、表皮下湿度测量、细胞因子测量、热成像和超声波在内的各种技术进步正在成为检测 PU 和随后预防更严重 PU 损伤的有前途的工具。鉴于这些技术的可用性不断提高,这就提出了一个问题,即我们目前预防 PU 的方法是否可以通过使用技术得到改进。本文对这些技术进行了深入探讨,认为它们可以引导医疗保健朝着正确的方向发展,实现最佳评估并采取有针对性的预防策略。
Integrating technologies to enhance risk assessment for the early detection and prevention of pressure ulcers.
Pressure ulcers (PU) are a globally recognised healthcare concern, with their largely preventable development prompting the implementation of targeted preventive strategies. Risk assessment is the first step to planning individualised preventive measures. However, despite the long use of risk assessment, and the >70 risk assessment tools currently available, PUs remain a significant concern. Various technological advancements, including artificial intelligence, subepidermal moisture measurement, cytokine measurement, thermography and ultrasound are emerging as promising tools for PU detection, and subsequent prevention of more serious PU damage. Given the rise in availability of these technologies, this advances the question of whether our current approaches to PU prevention can be enhanced with the use of technology. This article delves into these technologies, suggesting that they could lead healthcare in the right direction, toward optimal assessment and adoption of focused prevention strategies.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Wound Care (JWC) is the definitive wound-care journal and the leading source of up-to-date research and clinical information on everything related to tissue viability. The journal was first launched in 1992 and aimed at catering to the needs of the multidisciplinary team. Published monthly, the journal’s international audience includes nurses, doctors and researchers specialising in wound management and tissue viability, as well as generalists wishing to enhance their practice.
In addition to cutting edge and state-of-the-art research and practice articles, JWC also covers topics related to wound-care management, education and novel therapies, as well as JWC cases supplements, a supplement dedicated solely to case reports and case series in wound care. All articles are rigorously peer-reviewed by a panel of international experts, comprised of clinicians, nurses and researchers.
Specifically, JWC publishes:
High quality evidence on all aspects of wound care, including leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, the diabetic foot, burns, surgical wounds, wound infection and more
The latest developments and innovations in wound care through both preclinical and preliminary clinical trials of potential new treatments worldwide
In-depth prospective studies of new treatment applications, as well as high-level research evidence on existing treatments
Clinical case studies providing information on how to deal with complex wounds
Comprehensive literature reviews on current concepts and practice, including cost-effectiveness
Updates on the activities of wound care societies around the world.
