Title

Effectiveness of Tragacanth Gel Cushions in Prevention of Pressure Ulcer in Traumatic Patients: a Randomized Controlled Trial

Pages

  45-49

Abstract

 Introduction: Pressure ulcer is one of the most common and painful complications in patients admitted to Intensive care units (ICUs). This study aimed to compare the effects of tragacanth gel cushions and foamfilled ones on the prevention of Pressure ulcers. Methods: This triple-blind, randomized, clinical trial was performed on 94 patients admitted to the ICU of Taleqhani Hospital of Mashhad, Iran. The participants were divided into two groups of tragacanth gel pad and foam (n=47 for each group). Both groups received all the routine care. The participants were examined on a daily basis during a ten-day period. We considered sacral region as the most affected site, and the patients with erythema were excluded from the study. To analyze the data, Chi-squared test, Fisher’ s exact test, and t-test were run, using Stata version 12. Results: The data showed significant differences in terms of the incidence of skin redness in the tragacanth gel cushions group and foam cushion group, respectively, 6. 84 (1. 58) and 5. 67 (1. 26) days after admission. In addition, in the tragacanth gel cushions group 14 patients (29. 7%) did not have skin redness compared with the foam cushion group (8. 51%), which indicated a significant difference. Conclusion: This study showed that the use of tragacanth gel cushion is effective in the prevention of Pressure ulcers in ICU patients. Cushions filled with tragacanth gel also delayed the onset of erythema. Considering their cost-effectiveness and naturalness, the use of tragacanth gel cushions is recommended to improve the sacral skin health and prevent Pressure ulcers.
