ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the effects of hydrocolloid dressings with conventional care in the prevention of pressure ulcers.Methods Randomised controlled trials and quasi-randomised trials,which assessed the effects of hydrocolloid dressings in preventing pressure ulcers compared to conventional care were sought.Data were pooled using RevMan 5.0.Results 17 eligible trials were identified with a total of 1 371 study participants.Meta-analysis showed thatCompared to conventional care,conventional care and hydrocolloid dressings were effective for preventing pressure ulcers for patients at risk of pressure ulcers [RR =0.29,95％CI (0.18,0.46)] and using noninvasive positive pressure ventilator [RR=0.30,95％CI (0.18,0.52).Conclusions Hydrocolloid drcssings and conventional care can reduce the pressure ulcer incidence of patients at risk of pressure ulcer or using noninvasive positive pressure ventilator.
