Cure-Oriented to Comfort-Oriented Care: A Paradigm Shift in Healthcare
2026-09-23
Core Philosophy Change: From “Cure-Oriented” to “Comfort-Oriented” Care
End-of-life patients usually suffer from limited mobility, malnutrition, sedation treatment and poor physical conditions, making them extremely vulnerable to pressure injuries. Different from conventional wound care, end-of-life wound treatment abandons the single goal of wound recovery. The new standard focuses on pain relief, exudate management, odor elimination, bleeding prevention and skin protection.
Modern medical care pays more attention to patients’ psychological and physical comfort. Dressing performance such as softness, fit, pain-free removal and low replacement frequency has become key evaluation indicators for clinical wound care products.
Key Dressing Application Recommendations in 2026 New Consensus
1. Preventive Dressings: Grade A Recommendation for High-Risk Patients
The consensus clearly recommends applying professional preventive dressings on high-pressure parts (sacrum, heels, bony prominences) for end-of-life patients at high risk of pressure injuries. Regular skin assessment and preventive dressing application can effectively reduce the incidence of pressure damage.
Multi-layer soft silicone foam dressings are verified by clinical data and the UK NICE guidelines to provide excellent pressure buffering and skin protection for vulnerable skin areas, which is the preferred solution for daily pressure injury prevention.
2. High-Absorbency Dressings for Effective Exudate Management
Due to hypoalbuminemia, fluid retention and infection, end-of-life wounds often produce continuous and excessive exudate, which easily causes skin maceration and secondary damage.
The 2026 consensus strongly recommendsalginate dressings and high-absorbency foam dressings for heavy exudate wounds. These dressings feature efficient vertical absorption, lock wound fluid effectively, reduce maceration risks, and lower dressing replacement frequency, greatly improving patient comfort and reducing nursing workload. For uncontrollable massive exudate, combined drainage systems are supported for auxiliary management.
3. Hemostatic Dressings for Bleeding Wound Care
Coagulation disorders and inflammatory lesions often cause persistent oozing or active bleeding in end-of-life wounds. According to the new consensus, chitosan dressings, calcium alginate dressings and collagen dressings are the optimal choices for bleeding wounds.
These natural medical materials have reliable hemostatic properties. Meanwhile, the non-adhesive design avoids secondary bleeding and pain during dressing removal. Clinical operation guidelines suggest moistening the dressing with normal saline before removal to protect the wound surface completely.
4. Hydrocolloid Dressings for Mild-to-Moderate Exudate Wounds
As classic and widely used wound care products, hydrocolloid dressings are well-suited for end-of-life wounds with low to moderate exudate. They create a moist wound healing environment, isolate external bacteria, protect fragile wound skin, and effectively relieve patient discomfort caused by frequent dressing changes.
