Abstract:
The therapeutic effect of artificial CO2 pack on pressure sores of five patients with neurological diseases was confirmed using an infrared thermometer.
The artificial CO2 pack was prepared by dissolving a 5-g KAO-BABU tablet in 250ml of water at 50°C.
It was proven that the pressure sore recovered faster after treatment with artificial CO2 hot-pack than that with plain water hot-pack.
In addition, the skin temperature in the area around the pressure sore became lower than the temperature just before the treatment presumably because of the steal phenomenon of blood flow under the skin.
