description Pressure sores are a common affliction for patients in intensive care units, neurology, and rehabilitation after critical conditions, including trauma, acute cerebrovascular accidents and abdominal surgery. Despite the fact that a sufficient number of wound dressings have been created around the world to prevent and promote healing of wounds resulting from pressure on soft tissues, the features of nutritional status and clinical nutrition are rarely discussed. Chronic wounds (pressure sores and trophic ulcers) significantly reduce the quality of life of patients and place a heavy burden on the health care system. In the pathogenesis of the development of pressure sores, both external factors (chronic compression of the tissue covering the bone protrusion, friction or displacement of the body, exposure to moisture, immobility) and internal factors are involved – arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, age, malnutrition, etc. Malnutrition is a common factor the risk of developing chronically non-healing wounds in different groups of patients. Individuals with chronic wounds, including pressure sores, have been shown to perform worse on the Nutrition Screening Initiative and Norton than comparable patients without pressure sores, and populations at risk of developing chronic wounds are also at high risk of malnutrition. A high-protein, energy-rich, ready-to-use enteral tube feeding nutritional product has been specially developed for these cases. It is a complete enteral nutritional supplement with an innovative nutrient composition for patients with chronic wounds, including pressure sores, or at increased risk of developing them. It is fortified with many nutrients that play an important role in wound healing (arginine, vitamins A, C and E, other antioxidants, and zinc). The enteral tube feeding nutritional product also contains micronutrients that are often lacking in many patients with an increased risk of pressure sores and long-term non-healing wounds, for example, patients in hospital and in particular in intensive care units (including those with coronavirus infection), or the elderly.
