Abstract

Pressure ulcer (PU) prevention is a high priority for health professionals in all settings. While PU incidence is expected to rise given the ageing population in the UK and Europe, PUs can occur in people of any age. It is therefore imperative that all practitioners know about the causes and consequences of PUs and be aware of up-to-date guidance on the prevention and management in patients who have developed a PU or who are at risk of developing a PU. Health professionals should also be aware of preventive equipment highlighted in national and local guidance, prevention strategies and protocols. This article discusses these issues and the Devon (Cardinal Health) prevention and repositioning product range.

摘要

压疮（PU）预防是所有环境中卫生专业人员的首要任务。由于英国和欧洲人口老龄化，PU 的发病率预计会上升，但任何年龄段的人都可能发生 PU。因此，所有从业者都必须了解 PU 的原因和后果，并了解有关已发生 PU 或有发生 PU 风险的患者的预防和管理的最新指南。卫生专业人员还应了解国家和地方指南、预防策略和方案中强调的预防设备。本文讨论了这些问题以及德文郡（Cardinal Health）预防和重新定位产品系列。
