Abstract
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was on predictive value of the Braden scale of pressure sore in Surgical Intensive Care Units. MATERIALS AND METHODS: During the time of study, 50 patients of age more than 40 were examined , who are admitted in post op surgical ward in Stanley medical college. All patients are thoroughly examined and given scores according to Braden scale. According to the scores the patients will be categorised as severe risk, high risk, moderate risk and mild risk.All patients were regularly examined for development of pressure sores 4 times at pod-1, 7, 14 and 28 days or at the time of discharge.All details regarding the study will be recorded. RESULTS: The age distribution of sample is 51% of participants are below 50 years while 27.5% are in 51-60 years and 21.6% are in 61-70 years.Around 70% of the patients in the age group 61-70 years developed bed sore.And 30% of the patients in the age group 51-60 years developed bed sore. No patient below 50 years developed pressure sore. Except subscale sensory perception all the other scales prove to be highly significant on developing pressure sore. Other subscale such as moisture, mobility, activity, nutrition, friction and shear are highly significant with p-value <0.01.Comparison of total braden scale score reveals S.D of 1.57 and p-value of 0.0005 for those who developed pressure sore which is highly significant.The sensitivity of the scale is 90% and specificity of the scale is 93.70% with the cut off value at 16. CONCLUSION: This study proves that the braden scale has a high sensitivity and specificity in predicting pressure sore in intensive care units and it can be used widely to predict the outcome and can be regularly used to prevent pressure sores in post operative patients and this study also gives information regarding the subscales which influences on developing pressure sore.
