Pressure Ulcer Prevention and Treatment Following Spinal Cord Injury - v
CLINICAL PRACTICE GUIDELINE
Preface
A
s chairman of the Steering Committee of the Consortium for Spinal Cord
Medicine, it is a great pleasure for me to introduce the revision of the clinical
practice guideline Pressure Ulcer Prevention and Treatment Following
Spinal Cord Injury. The initial clinical practice guideline for Pressure Ulcer
Prevention and Treatment Following Spinal Cord Injury was published in
2000. We were very fortunate to have the chairman of the initial guideline,
Susan L. Garber, MA, OTR, FAOTA, return to spearhead the revision of this
critically important topic.
These guidelines provide comprehensive recommendations for the
prevention, assessment and management of pressure ulcers. Pressure ulcers,
a secondary complication for individuals of all ages with spinal cord injuries.
are unfortunately too common. Pressure ulcers are associated with significant
morbidity and mortality throughout the lifespan of those with spinal cord
injuries. In order to improve the quality of life and participation of individuals
with spinal cord injuries, prevention and timely management of pressure ulcers
are critical. The prevention of pressure ulcers begins within the first few hours
after an injury and continues throughout the lifespan.
On behalf of the Consortium and Steering Committee, I want to
acknowledge Susan Garber's expert, passionate, and committed leadership and
our distinguished guideline development panel. Each panel member brought
to the guideline development process an immense amount of energy and
dedication for the care of people with spinal cord injuries.
Special thanks also goes to the representatives of the Consortium's
22 member organizations who thoughtfully and critically reviewed this draft
in its various forms. Their contributions were essential to making this document
one that will improve both the quality of care and quality of life for persons
with spinal cord injury.
The development of this clinical practice guideline is dependent upon
the exceptional administrative support and other services provided by Paralyzed
Veterans of America. The Consortium is profoundly grateful to Paralyzed
Veterans of America, led by 2015 National President Al Kovach, and to the
Paralyzed Veterans of America Research and Education Department. Maureen
Simonson, director of Research and Education, and Kim S. Nalle, manager of
Clinical Practice Guidelines, were instrumental during all aspects of the
development of these guidelines, from inception of the topic to dissemination.
We could not have done it without them.
