Pressure injuries in ICU and prevention: A multidisciplinary approach
Gisha Paul
American Hospital Dubai, UAE
The highest incidence of pressure injuries ocuur in ICU in
most of the acute care hospitals. Some practioners really
find difficulty keeping it below the bench mark. All hospital
acquired pressure injury care expences are not covered by
the insurance. Hence pressure injuires in critical care patients
can creat a big loss of revenue to the organisation and can
compromise patient safety. Understanding pressure injuries,
stages and prevention methods can reduce this burden of
loss to the organiosation. A proper guidline implementation
and practices can change this situation. The multidisciplinary
rounds on these patients can help to reduce the incidents
and will help to manage the situation. Every organistion must
have a wound care services, with selected quality indicators.
