A pressure ulcer is the most obvious and
enduring wound in medical, and it is necessary for the researchers to tried to
give proper and efficient treatment to avoid the occurrence of this disease
from further happening. While treating pressure ulcers in the spinal Cord
injury of patients, and this is the most important issue in the field of health
has been facing. The pressure ulcer affecting the life of the patients from
different perspectives such as financially, physically and psychologically (Tadiparthi
et al., 2016). Posnett
and Franks (2008) has estimated that populace in the
United Kingdom had a chronic injury with an anticipated cost of handling being billion im
every single year. In the United Kingdom, treating PU has cost just
about one to two billion each year, which the common cost is devoted on nurse's
time (Gerry Bennett
2004).
Previous medical experience and researches
show that there was a choice of treating the wound with dressing material that has
an essential effect on the healing process of a patient. The pressure ulcer’s
grads, sensitivity as well as size, depth. The site of wound plays an important
role in the selection of dressing material and better and cost-effective choice
which has been reliable in the dressing of wounds. Moreover, to find out that these
kinds of dressings which were relay upon the clinicians as well as clinical-based
evidence which supports their decisions.
Some of the Efforts would be required to
reduce the chance of occurrence of PU in patients, as well as there many
challenges were also presented which has been facing by clinicians. Some f
these issues were related to funding as well as incentive to avoid such kind of
PU in the health care system (Black
et al., 2015). There were some other complications that were also
presented for evaluating the ratio of risks in the development of PU. No
awareness regarding the infection would be the cause of improper and
non-effective techniques usage may lead them toward an increase with the risk
factor of litigation.
In the past few years, many types of
research and studies have been done on the critically ill patients of I.C.U. (Moore and Webster, 2013 and Black
et al., 2015). Mot of studies includes the foams of dressing types
as well as Hydrocolloids polyurethane films. These heels and sacrum have been
studied the most (Kruger et al., 2013). Pressure ulcers presented that the spinal cord
can be comparatively difficult and challengeable for both the patients and also
for the Healthcare team as well. They were mainly lead them toward
hospitalization to do the medical surgeries of the patient who is suffering
from this disease and the surgery will also have the chances of complications
during the operation. They will also be shown as in the form of significant
cost for the healthcare system, and this approach was needed a multidiscipline
team to manage well. The outcomes of these would mainly depend on the
knowledge, preventions, and compliance of the patient with the proper protocols
of surgery. There were so many protocols included in the successful treatment
of PU as well as they were also updated the inclusive management in spinal cord
injury ad this has been necessary. The main aim of the previous study is to
find out the effects of dressing materials (Hydrogel and Hydrocolloid) among
the healing pressure ulcers for the patients who have spinal injury mainly in
adults as well as to determine the role of a multi-disciplinary team in this
process.
The purpose of this essay is to provide
details about the expense of the providers of health care in both areas of
primary and wound care. In this essay, we will also discuss the most typical
type of expense, which avoids all side effects related to healthcare face which
has the facility of cost 10.288$ per year. The Hospital-acquired pressure ulcer
which mainly occurs in I.C.U with the increasing rate of acquiring intraoperatively
with the ratio of 12% to 66% as well as including surgical patient (Cox, 2011). The
pressure ulcer can lead toward intense and chronic unrelieved pressure that can
be attained as in the form of damage to the underlying tissues of the skin (Primiano et al., 2011).
