Karimi Z, Mousavizadeh A, Rafiei H, et al. - Researchers conducted the study for analyzing the impact of using olive oil and fish oil prophylactic dressings on the development of heel pressure injuries. This investigation was performed in the intensive care unit of Shahid Beheshti Hospital, in Yasuj. Based on the mean score of the Braden scale, 50 patients, who were at moderate to high risk of pressure injuries development, were randomly divided into two groups. No statistically significant differences were found in either treatment group related to heel pressure injuries outcomes during the 7 days observed in the study. Both dressings also had the same effects. In this regard, further studies are suggested.
