Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Wound infection and bleeding is a risk factor for pressure injury. Calcium alginate silver dressing (CASD) has been shown to be beneficial in a variety of wounds. However, evidence of its benefit in pressure injury(PI) patients in long-term care institutions, especially with respect to Taiwan population, is sparse. This study was to evaluate the effect of CASD and conventional wound dressings on the PI patients in long-term care institutions.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Background: Wound infection and bleeding is a risk factor for pressure injury. Calcium alginate silver dressing (CASD) has been shown to be beneficial in a variety of wounds. However, evidence of its benefit in PI patients in long-term care institutions, especially with respect to Taiwan population, is sparse.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of CASD and conventional wound dressings on the PI patients in long-term care institutions. The study hypothesis that when using the CASD will improving wound bed status more than conventional dressing change.

Design: Prospective, randomized trial Setting: Multiple center long-term care institutions in Taiwan. Methods: In this clinical trial, 200 PI patients will randomly assigned to treatment with either calcium alginate silver dressing or conventional wound dressings for up to 14 days or to the point of full reepithelialization of the wound. The length and depth of the studied wounds were recorded once a week. The instruments will using the PI measurement tool measured on day0, day7 and day14.The collected data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistical methods . The Mann-Whitney test was applied to compare primary endpoint between groups. Differences in secondary endpoint were also compared.

Expected results: PI is an indicator of care quality in long-term care institutions. However, as the population ages, PI are prone to infection and bleeding problems, causing patients to have potential health problems such as sepsis and hemoglobin reduction. The results of this study will provide evidence-based care for wound dressing in long-term care institutions, thereby improving patient care.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Subjects who meet the inclusion criteria of this study will be randomly assigned by the research assistant to the experimental group or the control group by generating random numbers on the computer.

Blinding Strategy

DOUBLE

Participants Caregivers
Before the subjects were assigned, neither the participants, nurses nor the researchers knew whether the subjects were in the experimental group or the control group. When the patients met the inclusion criteria, the research assistant informed the clinical nurses of the results of the case assignment(experimental group or control group).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Alginate silver dressing

The experimental group received alginate calcium and silver ion dressing

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Alginate silver silver ion dressing

Intervention Type OTHER

Alginate silver silver ion dressing is a soft, comfortable wound dressing with a high mannuronic acid content. Gels on contact with wound exudate or blood, creating a moist wound environment for optimal wound healing. Silver ions protect the dressing from a range of microorganisms.

traditional dressing

Study subjects received traditional dressing changes such as wet dressing or SSD
