28
Q

Pressure Pain

A

Category I pressure ulcers may be tender instead of painful
Patients with neurological deficits may not perceive pain
Patients who are unable to communicate may demonstrate pain by grimacing, withdrawal, or moaning

29
Q

Pressure Ulcer Position

A

Majority on lower half of body over boney prominence
95% of pressure ulcers located over sacrum, greater trochanter, ischial tuberosity, posterior calcaneous, lateral malleolus
Areas of outside pressure:
casts, tubing, shoes

30

Patients with full-thickness pressure ulcers more likely to have multiple ulcers

31
Q

Pressure Periwound

A

Nonblanchable erythema
Mottled
Ring of inflammation around ulcer
Dermatitis

32
Q

Pressure Pulses

A

Usually not applicable due to proximal ulcer location

Usually normal unless concomitant PVD

33
Q

A

Increased in areas of reactive hyperemia

Decreased in areas of ischemia

34
Q

Pressure tests and measures

A

Pressure ulcer staging

35
Q

Pressure ulcer education

A

Control pressure and shear forces
Positioning/offloading/pressure relief/turn schedule
Importance of proper support surfaces (mattress/cushion)

36
Q

Pressure PT Inteventions

A

Assist with mobility, transfers, and weight shifts
Flexibility exercise to minimize contractures
Gait training
Transfers and bed mobility
Emphasize minimizing friction and shear
