Prevention of pressure ulcers in patients undergoing subacute rehabilitation after severe brain injury: An observational study.
Marianne Brostrup SachsMia Moth WolffbrandtIngrid PoulsenPublished in: Journal of clinical nursing (2018)
Professional knowledge about prevention of pressure ulcer is a necessary requisite, but is not sufficient to ensure effective treatment. To transfer knowledge into practice, we recommend that patients' rehabilitation days be planned in such a manner that activities, mobilisation and training are conducted throughout the day and evening. We also recommend that professional staff are encouraged to seek information about the former life of patients with severe brain injury.
