Pressure area care and estimating the cost of pressure sores: Critique 3
1Consultant Physician in Medicine for the Elderly, Homerton Hospital NHS Trust, London.
Abstract:
The 'silver' book, Pressure Area Care for the City and Hackney Health Authority, produced in 1988, probably takes second place in the development of pressure area care in the UK only to the 'blue book', An Investigation of Geriatric Nursing Problems in Hospital, published in 1962. Although Hibbs's work was intended only as a local service manual, it rapidly generated a much wider demand, with revision and updating in 1992. Hibbs herself says it is now out of date, but it is worth examining the precepts which formed the basis of modern pressure sore prevention.
