Stage 3 Pressure Injury - ️️Full thickness loss of skin, adipose (fat) is visible in the ulcer and granulation tissue and epibole (rolled wound edges) are often present. Slough and/or eschar may be visible. The depth of tissue damage varies by anatomical location; areas of significant adiposity can develop deep wounds. Undermining and tunneling may occur. Fascia, muscle, tendon, ligament, cartilage or bone is not exposed. Pressure - ️️Pressure is the force (per unit area) exerted ...

A 69 Y/O female with a right hip fracture was admitted to the orthopedic unit from the emergency department shortly after falling in her yard. Thirty-two hours later she underwent surgery to repair the hip and returned to the orthopedic unit post operatively. The pressure injury survey was conducted on day 4 of hospitalization and the survey team saw a Stage 2 pressure injury over the coccyx.Review of her hospital admission assessment record revealed incomplete assessment of this area due t...

blanchable - ️️Skin blanches with pressure. Color returns immediately with release. pressure - ️️the force (per unit area) exerted perpendicular to the skin surface.2 Pressure damages the skin and underlying tissues by (1) directly deforming and damaging tissue; (2) compressing small blood vessels hindering blood flow and nutrient supply and (3) through ischemia-reperfusion injury. When pressure is redistributed over a greater surface area, the pressure is less intense in any one ar...

A 78-year-old female was admitted with heart failure to the ICU from home. By day 3 of hospitalization, she had improved and was transferred to the medical cardiac unit.

shear - ️️Shear stress is the force (per unit area) exerted parallel to the tissue.2 Shear strain is the actual distortion or deformation of tissue as a result of shear stress. Some shear strain occurs at rest. Shear strain is intensified in certain clinical situations (e.g., raising the head of the bed > 30 degrees; dragging rather than lifting while repositioning). One layer of tissue slides over another deforming adipose and muscle tissue and disrupting blood flow. pressure - ️...

pressure injury -:- localized damage to the skin and underlying soft tissue usually over a bony prominence or related to a medical or other device. The injury can present as intact skin or an open ulcer and may be pa inful. The injury occurs as a result of intense and/or prolonged pressure or pressure in combination with shear. The tolerance of soft tissue for pressure and shear may also be affected by microclimate, nutrition, perfusion, co - morbidities and condition of the soft ti...
