The study population developed 278 stage I PUs. The crude IR and 95% confidence interval (CI) of progression was 7.8 (6.5-9.4) per 100 ulcer-days at all anatomical sites. The adjusted hazard ratio (HR) and 95% CI of progression comparing hip to foot PUs was 2.3 (1.3-4.1). Older ...
Stage two pressure injuries are relatively clean, superficial, partial-thickness injuries. Once again, protection is important; however, due to the break in the integument, the chosen dressing must also have some absorbent capabilities.

The pressure ulcer most often involves the philtrum, the tip of the nose, the soft triangle, or the nasal septum. A deformation or a change in function results, which is usually temporary. However, cases have unfortunately been reported in which columellar necrosis has led to a significant di...
Background A pressure ulcer (PU), also referred to as a 'pressure injury', 'pressure sore', or 'bedsore' is defined as an area of localised tissue damage that is caused by unrelieved pressure, friction or shearing forces on any part of the body. PUs commonly occur in patients who are...
Stage IV is the most severe. A stage IV ulcer is full-thickness wound that extends down to the underlying muscle or bone. IV期是最严重的。全层皮肤组织缺损,深达下方的肌肉和骨组织。 In 2007,National pressure ulcer advisory panel added two more ulcer ...
