Under Pressure (Permobil Learning Pathway #3):

Pressure injuries are mostly preventable, so why are we still seeing such high rates around the world? Do we as clinicians understand enough to help educate ourselves and our clients on best practice for prevention of pressure injuries?

This session will begin with a discussion on pressure itself, where does it come from and how does it work on the body? Then, we will look at the common areas for pressure injuries and a brief overview of pressure injury staging. Once we understand the aetiology, then we will consider current evidence-based best practice including equipment selection. We will conclude the session with the available resources and how to get involved in the interdisciplinary process for the prevention and treatment of pressure injuries.

Objectives:

1. List 4 common areas for pressure injuries.

2. Name the 6 classifications of pressure injuries.

3. Describe 3 current practices to assist with the prevention or treatment of pressure injuries.
