| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To explore the effect of eiconosapentaenoic acid (EPA) for the pressure ulcer formation and outcome of ill patients with cerebral infarction. A total 53 patients with cerebral infarction on critically neurological condition. All patients were randomly assigned to two groups either with EPA or without EPA control diets, delivered during a minimum of 4 days and monitored 14-days. Those who received the study experienced significant outcomes in terms of decreasing the incidence of new pressure ulcers. EPA contributed to prevent pressure ulcers in patients. The beneficial effect of the EPA was associated with a lower occurrence of new pressure ulcers on the clinically nutritional management of outcomes. Nutritional management using EPA could be a useful option for pressure ulcer prevention in patients who need long-term immobile bed rest in a supine position, as with cerebral infarction patients.
