The ability of three pressure-ulcer prevention support-surfaces to maintain physiological transcutaneous gas tensions in the seated patient
The AP and LP devices maintained favourable buttocks tissue perfusion more effectively compared to the SF, indicating their potential benefit in reducing PU risk for seated patients. These findings support the need for further research to confirm the efficacy of interventions across large sample sizes and longer durations.
