Article Synopsis
- Pressure ulcers are serious injuries caused by prolonged pressure on the skin, especially over bony areas, and they pose significant challenges in healing and treatment costs.
- This review evaluates the effectiveness of various dressings and topical agents in preventing pressure ulcers for individuals at risk, without any existing ulcers, across different healthcare settings.
- The update includes 51 trials with over 13,000 participants, showing that certain dressings, like silicone foam, can significantly reduce the incidence of pressure ulcers compared to no dressing at all.

The increasing incidence of surgical site infections (SSIs) following caesarean sections highlights the necessity for updated protocols that address risk factors throughout the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative stages. Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) and hydrocolloid dressings have demonstrated potential for improving wound management and reducing complications, particularly by enhancing dressing integrity. Nevertheless, the application of NPWT requires careful consideration and adherence to local trust guidelines to ensure both its safety and efficacy.
