Soft Foam Dressings for Pressure Injury Prevention of Cardiac Surgery
Sponsor: Shih,Wen-Chi
Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the application of soft foam dressings can reduce the occurrence of surgery-related pressure injuries among patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Specifically, this research aims to investigate differences in pressure injury outcomes before and after the intervention, and to assess the preventive effectiveness of soft foam dressings as an adjunctive skin-protection strategy.
