Efficacy and Effectiveness of Prophylactic fOam dressings in the prevention of saCral pressure injuries in at-risk hospitalised patients: The EEPOC Trial

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The use of dressings to prevent hospital acquired pressure injury (PI) is growing, yet evidence of their effectiveness is lacking. The bulk of PI prevention research conducted in critical care settings has been assessed as being very low quality. There is no evidence of clinical effectiveness of dressings to prevent PI in hospital wards despite their increasing use at great expense to health services. This multi-site randomised controlled trial will provide much needed high-level evidence.
