There is a high incidence of pressure ulcers in high‐risk settings such as intensive care. emerging evidence that the application dressings to ulcer predilection areas (sacrum and heels) improves prevention strategies. To determine whether preventive dressings, applied sacrum heels patients care units, addition standard prevention, reduces ulcers.

To identify possible factors associated with different severities of xerosis cutis and to describe associations between (skin) care dependency application moisturizers. Cross-sectional study using baseline data from a cluster-randomized controlled trial. Demographic health characteristics, skin physiological measurements, functional abilities moisturizers were compared the participants mild severe dry skin.

Abstract Pressure ulcer incidence is high in intensive care units. This causes a serious financial burden to healthcare systems. We evaluated the cost‐effectiveness of multi‐layered silicone foam dressings for prevention sacral and heel pressure ulcers addition standard high‐risk units patients. A randomised controlled trial assess efficacy prevent development on heels sacrum among 422 unit patients was conducted.

Abstract Skin ageing is associated with various structural alterations including a decreased strength of the dermo‐epidermal adhesion increasing risk for shear type injuries (skin tears). Topical applications basic skin care products seem to reduce tear incidence. The suction blister method leads artificial and controlled separation dermis epidermis. Therefore, time formation may be used as outcome measuring adhesion. We conducted an exploratory, randomised, trial split‐body design on...
