In addition to applying the vacuum-assisted wound care protocol to the patient, powdered sugar was used in wound care be- cause the expected progress could not be achieved. The patient’s wounds was evaluated daily using the Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing. Significant improvement was achieved in the patient’s pressure injuries (sacrum-number 1; stage 2, score: 7, right and left heel number 2-3; stage 2, score: 6, vertebra-number 4; stage 2, score: 4, scapula-number 5; stage 2, score: 4) with the use of powdered sugar.
