Agenda

Prof. Amit Gefen, PhD

The aetiology of pressure ulcers and how this knowledge should be applied
A brief review of the aetiology of pressure ulcers with emphasis on device-related pressure ulcers. Examples from recent published work on prevention of CPAP-related pressure ulcers and prevention of pressure ulcers in prone surgical patients.
Dr. Lenka Veverková, Ph.D
CZ		Determiners of pressure ulcers formation – Analyses from hospital information system
Pressure ulcers (PUs) represent an undesirable complication during hospitalization. The analysis of hospital own data reveals e.g. the local prevalence, PU location and diagnoses with highest risk of developing a PU.
Dr. Beata Gress Halasz, PhD
SK		Pressure Ulcer Management in Slovakia
Situation of PU management in Slovakia covering e.g. Health Economics, incidence, education and clinical cases.
Dr. Tomas Kopal
