    Abstract Pressure ulcers are still a serious problem for the hospitalized patient in this country. They cost the healthcare system billions of dollars annually for treatment. These ulcers also take their toll in the needless pain and suffering that is incurred by the afflicted patient. Pressure ulcers, for the most part, can be prevented. The major cause of pressure ulcers is thought to be a sustained pressure in excess of capillary pressure (32 mm Hg). In order to prevent or treat pressure ulcers, the most important step is to relieve pressure. The materials management professional is one of the front line players for assuring that patients receive an effective product and that pressure ulcers are prevented whenever possible. There are numerous mattresses and mattress overlays on the market that are touted as being effective pressure relieving devices. These devices can and should be objectively evaluated for their ability to relieve pressure. Because of the high costs associated with the treatment of pressure ulcers, the materials management professional must adopt a "cost-effective" approach to the screening of pressure-relieving devices instead of a "lowest cost" approach. This will assure that the nursing and medical staff have been provided with the proper tools to prevent pressure ulcers and that needless expenditures are not wasted on ineffective products.

    Abstract Heated water pads were placed underneath very-low-birth-weight preterm infants receiving care under overhead radiant warmers with plastic heat shields to evaluate the effects on their thermal environments. The electrical input (watts) to the overhead warmer was monitored and temperatures at various locations in the environment and on the infants were recorded. The electrical input to the radiant warmers decreased significantly (P = 0.0015) with the introduction of the heated water pads. Several of the temperatures recorded during the study also showed significant changes, including increased abdominal skin temperatures in these prone infants (P = 0.007) and decreased back-to-abdomen skin temperature gradients (P = 0.007). Less marked changes included higher mattress or pad temperatures (P = 0.019), lower ambient air temperatures within the plastic heat shields (P = 0.022), and increased infant foot temperatures (P = 0.036). We believe that conduction has a significant influence on the thermal environment of the VLBW infant cared for under an overhead radiant warmer and that the use of a heated water pad can markedly alter heat transfer. The impact of conduction appears to have been previously underestimated.

    Abstract The pressure relieving characteristics of an alternating pressure mattress are compared to the characteristics of a traditional hospital mattress. The trochanteric pressures of 20 healthy volunteers had a mean of 95 (SD = 49) on a hospital mattress while the trochanteric pressures on the alternating pressure mattress had a mean of 67 (SD = 9) for the inflated cells and a mean of 23 (SD = 7) for the deflated cells. Statistical analysis revealed significantly lower interface pressure for the alternating pressure mattress.
