Update on Pressure Injuries: A Review of the Literature
General Purpose:
To provide information about the latest evidence-based practice related to pressure injuries (PIs).
Target Audience:
This continuing education activity is intended for physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and nurses with an interest in skin and wound care.
Learning Objectives/Outcomes:
After participating in this educational activity, the participant should be better able to:1. Identify risk factors and prevention strategies for PI.2. Explain issues related to the treatment of PI.
Abstract:
The literature on pressure injuries continues to expand at a rapid rate, and keeping up to date with the current knowledge base is challenging. This summary describes six important new articles published in 2018 or 2019 about pressure injury pathophysiology, prevention, treatment, and epidemiology. For each article, a description of the results is provided, and then a comment about the significance of the results is offered. The new knowledge contained in this review should impact how clinicians incorporate the latest evidence-based practice for pressure injuries.
