High levels of contamination are associated with delayed healing of pressure ulcers, and problems occur when surface contaminants invade the tissues and produce infection. This article addresses differentiating contamination from infection, identifying infection when it is present, and treating the patient with a contaminated or infected pressure ulcer. Systemic support for healing is discussed with a focus on oxygenation and nutrition. A comprehensive plan for the concomitant treatment of all factors contributing to pressure ulcer infection is recommended.
高污染水平与压疮愈合延迟相关，当表面污染物侵入组织并引发感染时就会出现问题。本文论述了区分污染与感染、识别存在感染的情况以及治疗患有污染或感染性压疮的患者。文中讨论了促进愈合的全身支持措施，重点是氧合作用和营养。建议制定一个综合计划，以同时治疗导致压疮感染的所有因素。
