Prevention of Bed Sore Injuries in ICU patients.pptxanjalatchi
What is meant by bed sore?
Bedsores — also called pressure ulcers and decubitus ulcers — are injuries to skin and underlying tissue resulting from prolonged pressure on the skin. Bedsores most often develop on skin that covers bony areas of the body, such as the heels, ankles, hips and tailbone.
Objectives of learning pressure ulcer
evaluate the strengths and limitations of pressure ulcer guidelines; discuss the challenges related to clinical trials in the domain of pressure ulcers; discuss methods and educational strategies for implementing pressure ulcer prevention and treatment protocols in practice.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

155. Eggs are off-white, and laid in clusters of 25-500. One-day-old larvae are only about 2 mm in length, and almost transparent. By the time the maggots are 3 or 4 days old, they have grown to about 1 cm (1/2 inch) long.
169. Shallow and Wet Shallow and Dry SHALLOW/SUPERFICIAL WOUNDS MODERATE – HEAVY EXUDATE Goals : Absorb exudates, maintain moist surface; support autolysis if necrotic tissue; protect and insulate Need : Absorptive cover dressing: Alginates, foam, gauze, hydrocolloid (if not too wet) SHALLOW/SUPERFICIAL WOUNDS MINIMAL OR NO EXUDATE Goal : Maintain or create moist surface; protect and insulate Need : Hydrating or moisture retentive cover dressing: Gels, hydrocolloids, transparent thin films, non-adherent gauze
Which is why surgical wounds dehisce in patients with a lot of adipose tissue
Regardless of the specific name, this type of ulcer is defined as a localized area of tissue breakdown due to ischemia that develops when an area of soft tissue is compressed between skeletal bone and an external surface.
Iceberg chosen to represent the Pressure ulcer elimination initiative. Much like an iceberg, the damage to the tissue is below the surface and what is visible on the surface may not reflect what is below the surface. Iceberg first used by Dr. Mary Foscue, Sacred Heart Pensacola. “ Pressure ulcers form when external pressure exceeds the tissue capillary pressure of 25 to 32 mm Hg. This pressure impedes blood flow for a period of time causing altered tissue perfusion or tissue ischemia, resulting in the formation of an ulcer. “(Armstrong) Armstrong Diana., Bortz Pamela. (2001) An Integrative Review of Pressure Relief in Surgical Patients (Electronic Version). AORN Journal March 2001., Volume 73, Number 3.
Different types of tissues and cells have variable tolerances for ischemia and pressure. For example, muscle tissue is more sensitive to ischemia than the tissues of the skin; therefore by the time the skin shows visible signs of pressure damage, the underlying muscle tissues may already be necrotic. As external pressure from a surface is transmitted from the skin to the underlying bone, the bone exerts a counter pressure and all tissue layers in between are compressed to varying degrees. These opposing pressures create a cone shaped pressure gradient. One way to visualize this is to imagine the base of a triangle resting against the bony prominence with its point at the skin surface. The pressure generated from soft tissue compression is distributed within the triangle. The greatest pressure, represented by the base of the triangle, is placed on the bone and muscle layers. This pressure diminishes as it reaches the apex of the triangle or the skin. Therefore, the earliest and greatest damage occurs in the underlying tissues. It is estimated that 70% of a pressure ulcer lies beneath the skin – this is referred to as the iceberg effect . For this reason, pressure ulcers should always be assessed for undermining.
Can be difficult to detect in patients with dark skin tones
This stage is not used to describe skin tears, tape burns, perineal dermatitis, maceration, or excoriation
Eschar is tan, brown or black. Slough is yellow, tan, gray, green, or brown.
Stable eschar on heels serves as “a natural cover” and should not be removed
This is not for prevention but for treatment. A Tricell can only be ordered if pt already has Stage 3 or 4 pressure ulcers on the trunk only.
The Braden tool assesses these six parameters. These six categories most commonly put a patient at risk for the development of pressure ulcers.

Shear Friction in combination with gravity can produce shear forces. Gravity pulls down on the body and deeper tissues, while resistance or friction from the bed surface tends to hold the skin in place. This causes angulation, stretching, twisting, or even tearing of capillaries in the affected area, which leads to disruption of blood flow, ischemia, and cellular death. Shear forces can result in ischemia even more quickly than pressure. Think of how easy it is to stop the flow of water through your garden hose by kinking it as opposed to standing on it… Shearing forces most commonly occur when the head of the bed is elevated greater than 30 degrees and the patient slides down. Additional shearing and friction damage can be inflicted if caregivers use improper lifting techniques and drag the bedridden patient up to the head of the bed or across the surface of the bed.
There are many types of wounds that we encounter every day that are not related directly to pressure although this may be a factor in their development. Vascular wounds are a common problem in hospitalized patients. Their etiology is related to poor arterial or venous blood supply and present a challenge to the healthcare professional. Vascular wounds are usually seen on the lower extremities--toes, ankles, lower leg. It is important to be aware of their differences so that we can make good treatment choices.
Any question whatsoever as to arterial flow, ABI’s or vascular studies must be done prior to compression
