REDUCTION OF PRESSURE INJURY CASES IN COVID-19 ICU
Pressure injuries, located in the skin and/or underlying tissues, usually over a bony prominence, resulting from pressure alone or combined with shear forces and/or friction, are damage caused during the patient's hospitalization. LPP is understood as an adverse event, which must be notified and monitored by the Patient Safety Center. LPPs can develop within 24 hours, so all healthcare professionals are responsible for preventing the injury and must be aware of the integumentary signs that the patient may be developing.
