[Evaluation of measurement systems for determining therapeutic effectiveness of anti-decubitus ulcer devices].

Interface pressure measurement is today a most used technique for laboratory evaluation of support surfaces in prevention of pressure sores. This article describes the results of an experimental comparative evaluation of four modern pressure mapping systems (Tekscan, Xsensor, Novel and FSA) using a special loading device. The tests generated data on numerical accuracy, linearity and hysteresis. The results show that the accuracy of pressure mapping systems is still limited and results obtained from different systems can not be directly compared.

[Decubitus ulcer and nutritional status: literature review].

In order to better understand aspects related to the nutritional assessment of patients in risk for pressure ulcers, we reviewed the national and international literature indexed on Medline and LILACS bibliographic databases, from 1987 to 2001. The aim of this research was to investigate the knowledge production on pressure ulcers and nutritional status, as well as to learn about the authors and the publication focus. We concluded that patients in risk for pressure ulcers can be early identified based on nutritional assessment, including biochemical data, anthropometric evaluation, clinical data, diet history and energetic consumption. The alterations are frequent in elderly patients, hospitalized patients, patients with a chronic disease such as a vascular cerebral accident, cancer and spinal cord injury.
