Abstract:
Pressure injuries (PIs) are a spectrum of localized tissue destruction that develops most often at a bony prominence. PIs are the result of a combination of extrinsic (eg, pressure, shear, friction, and moisture) and intrinsic (nutritional status, spasticity, decreased sensation, and vascular disease) factors. Given their complex etiology, management of PIs requires a multidisciplinary approach from a team of health care professionals. After addressing both extrinsic and intrinsic factors, local wound care is generally recommended for stages 1 to 2 PIs and surgical intervention for stages 3 to 4.
