"[Abstract]
Aim: To retrieve and summarize the best evidence for the treatment of pressure ulcers with electrical stimulation.
Design: This study was an evidence summary followed by the evidence summary reporting standard of the Fudan University Center for Evidence-based Nursing.
Methods: Current literatures were systematically searched for the best evidence for the treatment of pressure ulcers with electrical stimulation. Literature types included clinical guidelines, best practice information sheets, expert consensuses, systematic reviews, evidence summaries and randomized controlled.
Data sources: Uptodate, BMJ Best Clinical Practice website, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Group (NPUAP) website, European Pressure Ulcer Advisary Panel (EPUAP) website, PubMed, EMbase, China Biomedical Literature Database, Wanfang Database, CNKI and other databases related to the treatment of stress injury with electrical stimulation. The search period was from the construction of the database to September 31, 2023.
Results: We finally included 9 articles that had high-quality results, including 2 clinical guidelines, 1 randomized controlled trial, and 6 systematic reviews. We summarized the 24 pieces of best evidence from these articles, covering nine aspects: the effectiveness and value of electrical stimulation, multidisciplinary team, appropriate stage, pressure ulcer assessment tool, basic wound care, electrode location, stimulation parameters, termination time or adverse reactions, and efficacy evaluation.
Conclusion: This study summarizes the best evidence for the treatment of pressure ulcers with electrical stimulation, which has certain scientific and comprehensive significance. It can provide evidence-based support for clinical healthcare professionals to manage electrical stimulation therapy for pressure ulcer patients scientifically, promote wound healing, and improve patients' quality of life.
