Abstract:
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.
