Canadian Best Practice Guidelines for the Prevention and Management of Pressure Ulcers in People with Spinal Cord Injury
Canadian Best Practice Guidelines for the Prevention and Management of Pressure Ulcers in People with Spinal Cord Injury
A Resource Handbook for Clinicians
In 2009 a panel of experts was convened by the Rick Hansen Institute to develop a research agenda for the prevention and management of pressure ulcers in people with spinal cord injury. The panel’s very first recommendation was to establish a set of evidence-informed best practice guidelines for pressure ulcer care. The intent of the new clinical practice guidelines was to build upon previous work by incorporating more current evidence and, while making them specific to the Canadian context, to also make them generally applicable to a more global audience.
The collation of the information provides one of the first comprehensive resources that serves a need for all professionals working with people who have pressure sores and SCI. This resulted in a much larger resource than anticipated and there was even more that could have been included. We hope we have captured the views of the many different health care professions and several hundred individuals who reviewed this document. There should be something for everyone working in this area. Pamela Houghton & Karen Campbell
