Rejecting Pure Narrative Pressure Ulcer Research and Literature
Following the provision of accurate and relevant information about the healthcare intervention and alternative options available; and with adequate knowledge and understanding of the benefits and material risks of the proposed intervention relevant to the person who would be having the treatment, procedure or other intervention (Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care, 2020).

Sleep Deprivation and the Sundowning Syndrome

Sleep Deprivation and the Sundowning Syndrome
Human rights and litigation. Sleep, like eating or drinking, is essential for living. Almost everyone has experienced the feeling of ‘falling to pieces’ after a night of poor sleep. Sleep and Alzheimers Gaur et al., (2022) described how inadequate sleep causes the aggregation of soluble amyloid beta protein and this may raise the likelihood of poor cognitive outcomes. One mechanism, they explained, is that, during slow wave sleep, the brain may be able to remove metabolic waste more effectively. In my opinion this puts an even greater responsibility on healthcare facilities to prioritise sleep for all patients and the main way this can be accomplished is to cease the two-hourly repositioning regimes, unless awake, use alternating pressure air mattresses, and let patients sleep. Researchers are investigating the relationship between lack of sleep, or disturbed sleep, and a link with Alzheimer’s Disease (Gaur et al., 2022; Gobraeil, 2022). Therefore, it is imperative that patients are given the opportunity to sleep all night without being disturbed and to be informed of alternative therapies and strategies. Informed consent is a person’s decision, given voluntarily, to agree to a healthcare treatment, procedure or other intervention that is made: References Dimond, B (2003).

Ludwig Guttmann Watching Nurses Work in 1944
In 1944 Ludwig Guttmann went into the hospital at night to see how nurses were preventing pressure ulcers. After he explained the importance of repositioning to the nurses, the problem dissipated but still teams of three orderlies and a nurse repositioned patients 24 hours a day to prevent pressure ulcers. There was no mention of sleep deprivation caused by repositioning. References Frankel, H. L (2012).

Falls and Bedrails, Sensor Mats

Falls and Bedrails, Sensor Mats
Poorly fitting bed rails have caused deaths where a person's neck, chest or limbs become trapped in gaps between the bed rails or between the bed rail and the bed, headboard, or mattress. Other risks are: rolling over the top of the rail or climbing over the rail. Floor sensor mats can be placed around the bed or room and that can alert staff the moment an elderly person is wandering and at risk of a fall, allowing for immediate assistance. That’s fine but as I keep saying, if the staff are busy in another room helping a patient they will not be able to get to the wandering resident to prevent them from falling and breaking bones. My preference is for one-on-one supervision 24/7. That means three nurses/carers every day as is Best Practice. References Healey F (2007).

Falls And The Late Effects of Polio (LEoP)

Falls And The Late Effects of Polio (LEoP)
Many people who acquired polio in their childhood experience new or increased impairments decades after their initial infection, so-called post-polio syndrome or late effects of polio (LEoP) []. Common impairments in persons with LEoP are muscle weakness, muscle fatigue, general fatigue and musculoskeletal pain during everyday activities and physical activities. The causes of LEoP are not clear, but it seems that the new impairments occur due to a distal degeneration of axons in the enlarged motor units that developed during the recovery of the acute paralytic polio. It is my experience as a nurse, that the LEoP are not mentioned in any falls risk screening tools in hospitals or residential aged care facilities and if staff don’t know about it they won’t know that a patient who may be able to walk around unaided may be at risk of falling because of the LEoP. Now my story…… My preference is for one-on-one supervision 24/7. That means three nurses/carers every day – one on each shift. References Brogårdh C, Lexell J, Hammarlund CS.

Falls, Socks and Footwear
02/10/2025
Falls, Socks and Footwear
Use the safe shoe checklist to assess footwear. This checklist is a reliable tool for evaluating specific shoe features that could potentially improve postural stability in patients. Discourage patients from walking in socks, because this is associated with a 10-fold increased risk of falling.164 This is particularly relevant in the hospital setting: patients should not walk in TEDs (antiembolism stockings) without appropriate footwear on their feet. Make sure that, while mobilising, the patient wears fitted, nonslip footwear (discourage the patient from moving about in socks, surgical stockings or slippers).

Falls Prevention Best Practice
02/03/2025
Falls Prevention Best Practice
For older patients suffering from delirium or cognitive impairment, where it is unsafe for them to mobilise or transfer without help, individual observation and surveillance must be increased, and help with transfers must be provided as required. Ideally, one-on-one supervision should be applied for those patients with a mobility impairment for which they lack insight (eg cognitive impairment), and who impulsively attempt to exit their bed or chair without assistance. A fall happens in a split second and if there is no nurse in the immediate vicinity it is more likely than not that the patient will fall, sustaining a life-threatening fracture. There is evidence for the benefits of this approach from nonrandomised controlled trials. Bed exit alarms have not been assessed adequately in appropriate trials, but they are increasingly being used for similar patients, to alert nursing staff when a high-risk patient attempts to climb out of bed. I don’t think that more research is required to see whether these devices are effective in reducing falls rates in hospitals and residential aged care facilities. My preference is for one-on-one supervision 24/7. That means three nurses/carers every day to remain with the patient the whole time.

Medico-Legal Issues and the Standard of Nursing Care
A bit about my training and going to Uni in my 40’s in Sydney Pressure ulcer on a forearm IV cannulation in the antecubital fossa and wrist causing extravasation of iron and chemotherapy drugs. Chemotherapy drugs destroyed the whole of the forearm. Years and years ago we (nurses) had to stand and count the IV drops for a whole minute to ensure the correct amount of intravenous fluid was being infused. Then IVACs and IMEDs (machines) were introduced. They were set to ensure the correct amount of intravenous fluid was being infused. One annoying thing about these machines is the constant noisy alarm. But when the alarms do sound nurses must unwrap the limb and check to make sure the IV fluid is not ‘tissuing.’ LINKS ‘Avoid areas of flexion i.e. antecubital fossa’ Policy: PD2019_040 Intravascular Access Devices - Infection Prevention & Control In order to minimise the adverse health impacts on patients and reduce burden of Healthcare Associated Infections

Sleep Deprivation and Guidelines to Prevent Pressure Ulcers
Sleep deprivation resulting from repositioning and waking without consent is unacceptable, is a form of abuse, and may contribute to a cognitive decline in the elderly. If patients are allowed to sleep and only repositioned when awake, staff workload is reduced, manual handling injuries are minimized and consequently the risk of skin tears, an added problem in the elderly who have tissue-paper like skin, is decreased. The Pressure Ulcer Prevention Guidelines are lengthy and complex for care staff to read, are not evidence-based and will, more likely than not, fail to prevent pressure ulcers in residential aged care facilities.

Consent and Informed Consent

Consent and Informed Consent
Patients are often repeatedly woken when being repositioned during that 24-hour period. This repositioning regime is often, if not always, carried out without informed consent. One rare complication of eye surgery is sympathetic ophthalmia, where an operation performed on one eye can cause loss of vision in the other eye. The estimated chance of this occurring because of eye surgery was cited in the High Court case as about 1 in 14,000 cases. The key issue to informed consent is whether the patient, if informed of this 1 in 14,000 risks of sympathetic ophthalmia with the chance of losing the eye opposite the eye being operated upon, would have refused the surgery as being too risky in her case’ (Mazur, 2013).

Preventing Pressure Ulcers In Aged Care

Preventing Pressure Ulcers In Aged Care
Preventing pressure ulcers has traditionally involved repositioning patients every two hours to relieve pressure on any part of the body sandwiched between the bony skeleton and mattress, or chair. Understanding that repositioning wakes patients resulting in sleep deprivation is my significant original contribution to knowledge. In addition, patients are not provided with information about repositioning and their staff will more likely than not fail to give them a choice about being repositioned, yet they should. Repositioning bed-bound patients is a major manual handling task that puts patients at risk of skin tears and nurses at risk of back injury. Sharp, C.A. & Campbell J.

Pressure Ulcer Physiology: The Implications of Repositioning and Staging.
When I was researching the literature on two-hourly repositioning, studying the scientific papers, learning how pressure ulcers developed, searching for solutions to prevent pressure ulcers, I decided to find out what happens when we reposition patients; specifically, what transpires deep in the body tissues, unseen. Knowing how to prevent pressure ulcers it became imperative to learn what happens when patients are repositioned every two hours. Sharp CA and McLaws M-L.

Two-Hourly Repositioning for Prevention of Pressure Ulcers in the Elderly.
For decades, aged care facility residents at risk of pressure ulcers have been repositioned at two-hour intervals, twenty-four-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week. Yet, pressure ulcers still develop. We used a cross-sectional survey of eighty randomly selected medical records of residents aged ≥ 65 years from eight Australian Residential Aged Care Facilities to determine the number of residents at risk of PUs, the use of two-hourly repositioning, and the presence of pressure ulcers in the last week of life. Despite 91 per cent (73/80) of residents identified as being at risk of PUs and repositioned two-hourly 24/7, 34 per cent (25/73) died with one or more pressure ulcers.

Interventions could then be provided immediately and pressure ulcers prevented. Accordingly reducing delays in screening for pressure ulcer risk and providing pressure relief within the first ‘golden hour’ must henceforth be considered as the foundation of pressure ulcer prevention. It is unconscionable to delay assessment for up to eight hours.

Pressure Ulcers: Estimating the Risk and Is It Truly Evidence Based
I knew that pressure ulcers were caused by immobility and the survey showed that many nurses knew that too. They were not using official risk assessment tools but rather their own clinical judgement to screen for risk; and they were right. Nevertheless, it took writing this paper to prove that no risk screening tools could do a better job that nurses using their own knowledge and experience to determine who was at risk. Unanimously nurses wanted to simply focus on mobility; immobility being the only risk factor nurses need to focus on. Because there is no evidence that some of the risk screening tools are better than nurses’ clinical judgement (Pancorbo-Hidalgo et al., 2006) it seems sensible to focus on immobility. I believe care staff in residential aged care facilities, many whose first language is not English, will find it very easy to screen using clinical judgement whereas trying to read, and score, a numerical tool such as the Waterlow or Braden, written in English, is time-consuming.

Tinea is a fungal skin infection that can be spread by skin to skin contact. It may be picked up in swimming baths, from floors and cubicles. Tinea is commonly seen on the feet but can affect the groin, scalp and beneath the breasts. Tinea is also known as ringworm but there are no worms.When dressing after a shower, put the patient’s socks on before underwear. That way you are not dragging fungi from the toes to the groin. Let your care staff know to dry well between the patient's toes and put socks on before underwear. Check inside the patient’s shoes. They may need new shoes. Notify a senior manager and the GP. They may recommend a fungal powder. Please don’t use creams. They are a ‘slip and fall’ risk.

Facial Ulcers
Wound care for facial ulcers can be challenging. The site of the ulcer; appearance; social factors; pain control; availability of wound dressings; amount of exudates and patient tolerance, all impact on the choice and combination of dressings. Ulcers on the face are often very difficult to dress for several reasons: Patients don’t want to see the ulcer; They want the ulcer to be ‘hidden’; At the same time they want to look reasonable for their family & visitors; Discrete dressings are the obvious choice…but what?; It is difficult to disguise ulcers as they get larger and deeper; Ulcers may be extremely painful; Ulcers may bleed; There may be exudates that require thick absorbent dressings; Bulky dressings can interfere with vision and eating; Even small dressings can interfere with eating and drinking; Dressings may become contaminated with food thus requiring more frequent changes. This case study serves to give healthcare workers and / or families some ideas that may be helpful; nothing is set in stone. There is not one particular wound dressing for a facial ulcer and whatever combination of dressings you do choose please remember that pain control is an absolute priority.

MRSA: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
A major culprit in cross-infection in all types of healthcare facilities is methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). It is endemic in tertiary referral hospitals in the developed world. The first Australian isolation was made at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital (RPAH) in Sydney, Australia, in 1965. So what is MRSA and how can we stop the spread of this potentially deadly nosocomial (hospital acquired) pathogen that has become resistant to so many antibiotics? It is a problem particularly for susceptible patients: neonates, immune suppressed and those undergoing surgical procedures. It can cause infection in wounds, urinary tract, blood and lungs to name but a few sites in the body. Staphylococcus aureus, which ordinarily lives in the nose and skin of humans, is a harmless berry-shaped (cocci) organism, find out how you can stop the spread with simple strategies like thoroughly wash all parts of your hands with soap and running water for 10-15 seconds before & after touching/dressing an infected area after going to the toilet after blowing your nose before handling or eating food after touching or handling unwashed clothing or linen CA Sharp, .

Brenda Ramstadius and Kate Sharp discussing Pressure Wound Prevention
In this episode I introduce my bestie, Brenda Ramstadius and we discuss the preventative care needed to ensure patients and facilities are free from pressure wounds. Brenda is a wonderful friend and an incredible source of knowledge and experience when it comes to practical strategies, having shared these with thousands of her students and operational staff in aged care facilities and hospitals. In the interests of patient comfort, and costs of pressure wounds I highly recommend the alternating pressure air mattresses for all patients who present with the risk of pressure ulcers. Your professional judgement is an important tool in assessing this risk. Risk Tool Resource: Stand at the end of the bed and observe the patient Does the patient have limited or no movement in the limbs? Can the patient reposition themselves? If the patient does not have capacity, then they will be required to be repositioned to prevent pressure wounds as it has been found that pressure wounds can start with 30 minutes of imobility. As for Brenda, our friendship has lasted the test of time. We are besties and I thank her for contributing to this important conversation. For more information on pressure wound prevention head to

My colleague and good friend Julie Campbell and I were published in the AJMS Vol 13 No 2 1st February 2022 There is a Table in the paper that shows how many towels are used for a conventional shower (two to dry the resident and one on the floor to stand on) compared with no towels at all when HiCare bath cloths are used. No towels = no laundry, no water, no electricity. HiCare bath cloths save heaps of time allowing you to give residents extra help with food, taking them for a walk and much more. If any of the residents do sustain a skin tear the beautiful silicone dressing Mepilex Border can be used. It adheres gently to the skin but not to the actual wound. I'll be discussing more about the work I have done with skin tears, and the solutions to support your role in aged care facilities, health services and hospitals.

The S.H.A.R.P. Clinical Solutions for the prevention and treatment of Skin Tears
In this, my very first episode of Podcast, I introduce the prevention and treatment of one of the most common injuries in Aged Care, Skin Tears. Due to the fragility of the skin in our senior years, the utmost care, and alternatives, must be taken to prevent the pain and suffering that Skin Tears create. The SHARP/WILKINS Skin Tear Book is freely available for your information, education, and reference, so download from the Wound Centre website. I discuss the identification, treatment, and care of these wounds that can take days or weeks to heal, often increasing a patients or resident’s discomfort. This free book, on the front page of The Wound Centre website, , it describes skin tears, who gets them and how they occur. The information teaches you how to prevent and treat skin tears. Skin tear prevention starts with risk screening, using HiCare bath cloths instead of showering, wearing limb protectors, and nursing patients on an alternating pressure air mattress instead of repositioning every two hours. There are two coloured flowcharts that you can copy, print, laminate and stick up on the wall for your staff. 1. The Sharp Wilkins Skin Tear Screening Tool and 2.
