Improving quality care for patients with pressure ulcers resulted in a two-year intensive effort to educate staff, keep morale high, standardize care plans by stage of ulcer, and participate in a comparison study of two support surfaces (Thera-Pulse, Kinetic Concepts and Geo-Matt, SpanAmerica). When all pressure ulcers were considered, the analysis of covariance revealed no statistically significant difference in the healing of pressure ulcers with respect to type of support surface used (F[1, 78] = 0.35, p > .05). For patients with stage III and IV pressure ulcers, the proportion of patients improving more than 10cm2 was higher in the air-suspension group. There was relatively little difference in the Stage II ulcer patients.
改善压疮患者的优质护理需要付出为期两年的艰苦努力，包括对工作人员进行培训、保持高昂士气、根据溃疡阶段规范护理计划，以及参与两种支撑面（Thera-Pulse，Kinetic Concepts公司；Geo-Matt，SpanAmerica公司）的对比研究。在考虑所有压疮情况时，协方差分析显示，使用的支撑面类型对压疮愈合没有统计学上的显著差异（F[1, 78] = 0.35，p > 0.05）。对于III期和IV期压疮患者，空气悬浮组中溃疡面积改善超过10平方厘米的患者比例更高。II期溃疡患者的差异相对较小。
