Pressure injuries must be identified and managed early to prevent them from becoming difficult to heal. In this review, the main complications inherent to pressure injuries will be highlighted, as well as the expected prognosis for patients with this health condition. Furthermore, the most current preventive measures are emphasized and supported by robust references from systematic reviews and guidelines. In the treatment section, an updated and comprehensive conceptual model is presented to guide dermatologists and healthcare professionals in assessing injuries in general, as well as pressure injuries. The focus on the debridement and management of infections and biofilm is emphasized. The importance of preparing the wound bed and the peri-wound area will also be addressed, unifying concepts with the best scientific evidence.
