There are several stages of pressure injuries that describe the severity of the injury. It is important to avoid infection when you have a pressure injury. If the wound becomes infected, the rest of the body is at risk This Best Practice Guideline (BPG) replaces the RNAO BPG Assessment and Management of Stage I to IV Pressure Ulcers (2007). It provides evidence-based practice, education and policy recommendations for interprofesssional teams across all care settings who are assessing and providing care to people with existing pressure injuries An effective pressure injury risk assessment requires a structured approach that considers factors including but not limited to mobility, existing pressure injuries, co-morbidities such as diabetes, circulatory status, body temperature and nutrition Purpose of the Guide This Pressure Injury 1 Prevention Program Implementation Guide is for hospital leaders and others who want to launch a structured pressure injury prevention initiative based on quality improvement (QI) principles
Pressure washer injuries are rarely seen in the emergency department but have major consequences if underlying injury or extent of the injury is missed or overlooked.
