Purpose To test an interventional patient skin integrity bundle, the InSPiRE protocol, for
reducing pressure injuries in critically ill patients in an Australian adult intensive care unit …

Background Skin integrity management is often a low clinical priority in the intensive care
environment, possibly resulting in high pressure injury (PI) prevalence. This article reports …

BACKGROUND The first step in successful pressure injury (PI) prevention is to determine
appropriate risk factors. In patients who are critically ill, PI risk is multietiologic, including the …

Background Pressure injuries contribute significantly to patient morbidity and healthcare
costs. Critically ill patients are a high risk group for pressure injury development and may …

Objective The purpose of this research was to identify predictors of pressure injury, using
data from the electronic health records of critically ill adults. Methodology A retrospective …

Background Hospital-acquired pressure injuries disproportionately affect critical care
patients. Although risk factors such as moisture, illness severity, and inadequate perfusion …

BACKGROUND: Pressure injury (PI) development in the critical care population is
multifactorial. Despite the application of evidence-based prevention strategies, PIs do occur …

Background Hospital-acquired pressure injury is associated with increased morbidity and
mortality and considered to be largely preventable. Pressure injury prevalence is regarded …

Background Critically ill patients are at increased risk for pressure ulcers, which increase
patients' morbidity and mortality. Quality improvement projects decrease the frequency of …

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to examine clinical characteristics and risk factors
for critically ill patients who develop pressure injuries and identify the proportion of validated …
