3 Pressure ulcers prevention and treatment According to recent literature, hospitalizations related to pressure ulcers cost between $9.1 to $11.6 billion per year. The cost of individual patient care per pressure ulcer may range from $20,900 to $151,700. In 2007, Medicare estimated that each pressure ulcer added an additional $43,180 in costs to a hospital stay.¹ Understanding the challenges pressure ulcers present to the patient and health system, education regarding their prevention and treatment is increasingly important. All providers and care-givers involved in the continuum of patient care should have access to tools which provide general knowledge on how to effectively tackle this condition. In an effort to support your health system s goals on providing education on pressure ulcer prevention and treatment, Coloplast has published this quick-guide. This guide is intended for educational and informational purposes only. It contains key recommendations for the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers, and will be helpful to health care professionals who are not dealing with pressure ulcers on a day-to-day basis. For further information on this topic, please refer to the Wound, Ostomy, Continence Nurses Society (wocn.org) for their Guideline for Prevention and Management of Pressure Ulcers and the NPUAP/EPUAP (npuap.org) for their Pressure Ulcer Prevention & Treatment: Clinical Practice Guideline. Useful tools for pressure ulcer prevention are also available at the Braden scale website (www.bradenscale.com) Coloplast Corp., April
4 What is a pressure ulcer? International NPUAP-EPUAP pressure ulcer definition: A pressure ulcer is a localized injury to the skin and/or underlying tissue usually over a bony prominence, as a result of pressure, or pressure in combination with shear. 2 Pressure ulcers are a major cause of morbidity and mortality, especially for persons with impaired sensation, prolonged immobility, or advanced age.

5 How do pressure ulcers occur? A pressure ulcer is the result of a degenerative change caused by biological tissue (skin and underlying tissue) being exposed to pressure and shear forces. The increased pressure prevents the blood from circulating properly, and causes cell death, tissue necrosis and the development of pressure ulcers.

6 Who develops pressure ulcers? Anyone is at-risk for the development of a pressure ulcer, but some are more likely to develop one than others. This is particularly true for those with impaired sensation, prolonged immobility and advanced age. Whether young or old, if somebody with frail skin remains in one position for too long without shifting their weight, they are at-risk for pressure ulcers. Wheelchair users or people confined to a bed (for example, after surgery or an injury), are especially at-risk and those people who have a pressure ulcer are at an even greater risk for developing another pressure ulcer. The most common sites for pressure ulcers to occur are over a bony prominence, such as the buttock (sacrum/ischium), heels, hips (trochanter), elbows, ankles (lateral and medial malleolus), back, shoulders, back of the head (occipit) and ears. Common sites of pressure ulcers 6
7 Prevalence of pressure ulcers National prevalence studies have been conducted in several countries. Prevalence studies, among patients in acute care hospitals, indicated a pressure ulcer prevalence ranging from 10.1% to 17%. 3 Recently, 5947 patients were surveyed in 25 hospitals in five European countries. The pressure ulcer prevalence (Stage 1 4) was 18.1%. If Stage 1 pressure ulcers were excluded, the prevalence was 10.5%. The sacrum and heels were the most affected sites. Only 9.7% of the patients in need of prevention received fully adequate preventative care. 3 Vertebrae, Unstageable NPUAP copyright & used with permission Buttocks, Stage II NPUAP copyright & used with permission Buttocks, Stage I NPUAP copyright & used with permission Heel, Stage III NPUAP copyright & used with permission 7
8 Risk factors The following factors increase the risk for pressure ulcers 4 Bed or chair-bound Advanced age (>65 years) Unable to move body or parts of body without help Chronic conditions, such as diabetes or vascular disease, which affect perfusion (blood circulation) Mental disability from conditions such as dementia History of previous ulcer Urinary and/or fecal incontinence Inadequate/poor nutrition and/or dehydration Diastolic pressure <60 and/or hemodynamic instability The NPUAP/EPUAP pressure ulcer prevention and treatment guidelines recommend to use a structured approach for risk assessment to identify individuals at-risk of developing pressure ulcers. One of the most widely used risk assessment tools is the Braden Scale for Predicting Pressure Sore Risk, developed by Barbara Braden, PhD, RN and Nancy Bergstrom, PhD, RN, FAAN (bradenscale.com). NPUAP copyright & used with permission 8
9 The Braden scale for predicting pressure ulcer risk The Braden scale is a clinically validated tool that allows nurses and other healthcare providers to reliably score a person s level of risk for developing pressure ulcers by assessing six subscales: 5 Sensory Perception ability to respond meaningfully to pressure-related discomfort (1 4) Moisture degree to which skin is exposed to moisture (1 4) Activity degree of physical activity (1 4) Mobility ability to change and control body position (1 4) Nutrition usual food intake pattern (1 4) Friction and Shear amount of assistance needed to move, degree of sliding in bed and/or chair (1 3) Each of these subscales contains a numerical range, with one being the lowest score possible. The Braden scale score is then derived from totaling the numerical rating from each subscale. The lowest possible total score is 6 and the highest is 23. The lower the score, the higher the risk of developing pressure ulcers. Individuals with scores of are considered at-risk of developing pressure ulcers if other major risk factors are present; 13-14, moderate risk; 10-12, high risk, and 9 or below, very high risk. 5 The Braden scale should always be used in conjunction with nursing judgment. Each subscale score serves as a flag for assessments that need to be explored further, and a guide to the types of interventions that may be required. The lower the subscale scores and total score, the more intense the nursing interventions should become. 6 Disclaimer: These are general guidelines. There may be specific pressure ulcer assessment tools used at your healthcare facility which must be followed. 9
10 The Braden scale The cornerstone of pressure ulcer prevention is identifying and minimizing risk factors with the use of a validated risk assessment tool. 10
11 Prevention of pressure ulcers A person that is bed bound or cannot move due to paralysis, or who has diabetes, vascular disease (circulation problems), incontinence, or mental disabilities, should be frequently checked for pressure ulcers. Special attention should be paid to the areas over a bony prominence where pressure ulcers often form. Look for reddened areas that, when pressed, do not blanch (turn white), or purple/maroon areas of intact skin. Also look for blisters, ulcers or other open areas. Interventions 7 Schedule regular repositioning and turning for bed and chair-bound patients Utilize support surfaces on bed and chairs Position with pillows or wedges between bony prominences Elevate heels off bed Gently cleanse skin at each time of soiling with ph-balanced, non-rinse skin cleanser Apply a protective moisture barrier ointment to the affected area Manage moisture due to perspiration with wicking, translocating textile with silver 8 (InterDry Ag) Offer active or passive range of motion exercises Use lift sheets or lift equipment to reposition or transfer patient Maintain head of bed at/or below 30-degrees, if consistent with patient s medical condition Refer to dietitian for nutritional assessment and interventions Report weight loss, poor appetite or gastrointestinal changes that interfere with eating Assist with meals, as needed Apply moisturizer to skin at least daily and PRN 11
12 International NPUAP- EPUAP pressure ulcer classification system Category/Stage I: Heel, Stage I NPUAP copyright & used with permission Non-blanchable redness of intact skin Intact skin with non-blanchable erythema of a localized area usually over a bony prominence. Discoloration of the skin, warmth, edema, hardness or pain may also be present. Darkly pigmented skin may not have visible blanching. Further description: The area may be painful, firm, soft, warmer or cooler as compared to adjacent tissue. Category/ Stage I may be difficult to detect in individuals with dark skin tones. May indicate at-risk persons. 12
13 International NPUAP- EPUAP pressure ulcer classification system Category/Stage II: Buttocks, Stage II NPUAP copyright & used with permission Partial thickness skin loss or blister Partial thickness loss of dermis presenting as a shallow open ulcer with a red-pink wound bed, without slough. May also present as an intact or open/ruptured serum-filled or sero-sanginous filled blister. Further description: Presents as a shiny or dry shallow ulcer without slough or bruising. This category/stage should not be used to describe skin tears, tape burns, incontinence-associated dermatitis, maceration or excoriation. 13
14 International NPUAP- EPUAP pressure ulcer classification system Category/Stage III: Ischium, Stage III NPUAP copyright & used with permission Full thickness skin loss (fat visible) Full thickness tissue loss. Subcutaneous fat may be visible but bone, tendon or muscle are not exposed. Some slough may be present. May include undermining and tunnelling. Further description: The depth of a Category/Stage III pressure ulcer varies by anatomical location. The bridge of the nose, ear, occiput and malleolus do not have (adipose) subcutaneous tissue and Category/Stage III ulcers can be shallow. In contrast, areas of significant adiposity can develop extremely deep Category/Stage III pressure ulcers. Bone/tendon is not visible or directly palpable. 14
15 International NPUAP- EPUAP pressure ulcer classification system Category/Stage IV: Coccyx, Stage IV NPUAP copyright & used with permission Full thickness tissue loss (muscle/bone visible) Full thickness tissue loss with exposed bone, tendon or muscle. Slough or eschar may be present. Often includes undermining and tunneling. Further description: The depth of a Category/Stage IV pressure ulcer varies by anatomical location. The bridge of the nose, ear, occiput and malleolus do not have (adipose) subcutaneous tissue and these ulcers can be shallow. Category/ Stage IV ulcers can extend into muscle and/or supporting structures (for example, fascia, tendon or joint capsule) making osteomyelitis or osteitis likely to occur. Exposed bone/muscle is visible or directly palpable. 15
16 International NPUAP- EPUAP pressure ulcer classification system Unstageable: Hip, Unstageable NPUAP copyright & used with permission Full thickness skin loss - depth unknown Full thickness tissue loss in which actual depth of the ulcer is completely obscured by slough (yellow, tan, gray, green or brown) and/or eschar (tan, brown or black) in the wound bed. Further description: Until enough slough and/or eschar are removed to expose the base of the wound, the true depth cannot be determined; but it will be either a Category/Stage III or IV. Stable (dry, adherent, intact without erythema or fluctuance) eschar on the heels serves as the body s natural (biological) cover and should not be removed. 16
17 International NPUAP- EPUAP pressure ulcer classification system Suspected Deep Tissue Injury: Foot, SDTI NPUAP copyright & used with permission Depth unknown Purple or maroon localized area of discolored intact skin or blood-filled blister due to damage of underlying soft tissue from pressure and/or shear. Further description: The area may be preceded by tissue that is painful, firm, mushy, boggy, warmer or cooler as compared to adjacent tissue. Deep tissue injury may be difficult to detect in individuals with dark skin tones. Evolution may include a thin blister over a dark wound bed. The wound may further evolve and become covered by thin eschar. 17
18 Treatment of pressure ulcers Pressure ulcers treatment goals: 1. Underlying pathology of the pressure ulcer must be treated, if possible. Pressure must be relieved or removed by appropriate measures to prevent further injury. 2. Nutrition is important for healing of pressure ulcer: Provide sufficient calories Provide adequate protein for positive nitrogen balance Provide and encourage adequate daily fluid intake for hydration Provide adequate vitamins and minerals 3. Wound care must be optimized: If there is black or yellow necrotic tissue in the wound, consider debridement to remove the dead tissue If there is a high bacterial load (bioburden) in the wound, consider antimicrobial dressings Cleanse the pressure ulcer and periwound area at each dressing change Use appropriate moist wound healing dressings Dry wound - hydrate it Wet wound - absorb it Shallow wound - cover it Deep wound - fill it / cover it Disclaimer: These are only general guidelines. There may be specific pressure ulcer treatment protocols used at your healthcare facility, which must be followed. 18

20 Wound infection Most types of wounds contain bacteria. Even if the wound is healing normally, a limited amount of bacteria will be present. Bacteria present in a chronic wound such as a pressure ulcer is referred to as contaminated or colonized. But if the bacteria count rises, the wound may become critically colonized or infected. Bacterial overload in a wound can stall or delay healing and can lead to a serious infection. Antibiotic treatment and/or antimicrobial dressings may be required. Pressure ulcers that are critically colonized or infected may show subtle signs of infection such as: 4 Delayed healing Change in odor Increased serous exudate Absent or friable granulation tissue New or increased pain Sacrococcygeal pressure ulcer NPUAP copyright & used with permission 20
21 Wound infection If a pressure ulcer is at-risk of infection or has become infected, an antimicrobial silver foam dressing may be helpful. Alternatively, a silver alginate dressing in combination with a foam dressing may be used. Autolytic Debridement Additional clinical symptoms may arise if the infection spreads to the healthy tissue surrounding the wound. Depending on the type of Purilon (Hydrogel) bacteria, the wound exudate may become more pus-like, and the OR COVER WITH periwound skin may be tender, red and painful. The patient may also have a fever. If the infection spreads beyond the wound, antibiotics (Foam Dressing) should be used at the discretion of a physician. 7 Triad (Hydrophilic Paste) Addressing Bacterial Bioburden OR COVER WITH Photo courtesy of Stoia Consultants Biatain Ag (Silver Foam) SeaSorb Ag (Silver Alginate) (Foam Dressing) 21
22 Wound debridement The presence of necrotic or devitalized tissue in a wound promotes the growth of bacteria and prevents wounds from healing. Debridement is the removal of nonviable tissue from a wound and is a naturally occurring part of the wound repair process. 7 It is important to select a debridement method(s) most appropriate to the person s condition.

24 Dressing selection Wound dressings are a central component of pressure ulcer care. Dressing selection should be based on the type of tissue in the wound bed, the depth of the wound, the amount of wound exudate and the condition of the periwound skin. Suitable wound dressings for pressure ulcers are moist wound healing dressings with good absorption and exudate management properties. Dressings for deep pressure ulcers Fill deep, draining wounds with dressing materials, e.g. alginate filler. Document the number of dressings that are used to fill large wounds to ensure all dressings are removed at the next dressing change. Dressings for infected pressure ulcers Assess pressure ulcers carefully for signs of infection and delay in wound closure. An antimicrobial moist wound healing dressing, e.g. a silver foam (Biatain Ag), or a silver alginate dressing (SeaSorb Soft Ag) in combination with an adhesive secondary dressing (Biatain Silicone) may help prevent or resolve wound infection. 24
25 Dressing selection Pressure ulcers on the sacral area of patients who are incontinent are at higher risk for infection and further skin breakdown. To prevent contamination and protect the wound from urine and/or stool it is important to keep the wound and periwound area clean and use a protective semi-occlusive foam (Biatain ) or hydrocolloid (Comfeel ) dressing. A hydrophilic wound dressing (Triad ) is another alternative for this difficult-to-dress area. The zinc oxide-based paste adheres to moist areas and absorbs moderate amounts of exudate. Evaluating pressure ulcer progress A 2-4 week period is recommended for evaluating wound progression 9 toward healing. However, weekly assessments provide an opportunity for the health care professional to detect early complications and the need for changes in the treatment plan. Treatment needs of a pressure ulcer change over time. Treatment strategies should be continuously re-evaluated based on the current status of the pressure ulcer. 25
