Abstract

Pressure injuries (PIs) are highest amongst the critically ill. The impact of PIs is well reported and includes increased length of stay in acute facilities, increased cost of care, decreased quality of life, and pain and disability for the patient. Over the last decade, a considerable amount of research has been undertaken in the area of PI prevention. We now know that the use of prophylactic silicone dressings can assist in reducing the incidence of PIs in critically ill patients. However, there is currently a gap in the literature in comparing the effectiveness of different silicone products available in Australia. This cluster-controlled clinical trial aims to compare the onset of PIs and cost-effectiveness between two silicone products currently available.
