Abstract
nA pressure injury refers to the localized death of tissue resulting from sustained pressure on the skin and underlying tissues. This damage is often compounded by shear forces or direct trauma to the skin. While terms like “decubitus ulcer,” “bedsore,” and “pressure sore” are commonly used interchangeably, they fail to capture the complexity of the condition as accurately as the term “pressure injury” does. The term “decubitus” originates from Latin, meaning “to lie down” or “recline,” reflecting the propensity for these ulcers to develop over bony prominences when a person is in a lying position, such as the sacrum, trochanter, heel, and occiput. The term “pressure ulcer” more aptly describes these wounds, emphasizing the significant role of pressure as a contributing factor to their formation. This case report seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of implementing the Stage-Based Wound Care and Revascularization (SWCR) guidelines in managing pressure injuries. By following these guidelines, healthcare professionals can better address the multifaceted nature of pressure injuries, taking into account factors such as the severity of the wound, tissue blood supply, and individual patient characteristics. The adoption of SWCR guidelines provides a comprehensive approach to assessing, treating, and preventing pressure injuries, with the potential to enhance patient outcomes and alleviate the burden of this debilitating condition.
