Join Frank Long, editorial director of Rehab Management, as he speaks with:
Justine Kohlman, vice president of Aquila Corporation, who spotlights the results of a Cleveland Clinic study that examines how alternating air pressure cushion use provides reliable and effective pressure relief compared to independent pressure relief. The study compares the Aquila cushion technology with the effects of weight shifts and pressure lifts in addition to comparing conventional and alternating cushion weight-shifting technologies. Listen to this podcast and find out:
- Why pressure relief by itself is not always enough to provide reliable, effective protection against pressure injury.
- How a person with a 15 cm x 8 cm sore went from sitting 2 hours a day to sitting 12 hours a day within 3 months, and reduced the sore to 6 x 5 cm.
- How a cushion interrupts the constant pressure that causes pressure injuries and uses layers of foam and an alarm to protect against bottoming out.
