A Novel Categorization System for Pressure Ulcers Reframed in the Context of BioinformaticsBy Vaibhav Shukla, Ravi Kumar Chittoria, Amrutha J.S., Jacob Antony Chakiath
Abstract: Pressure sores are a serious complication of multi morbidity and lack of mobility. Pressure injuries are commonly encountered in geriatric patients. Certain well-recognized risk factors, such as immobility and incontinence, may predispose to the development of pressure injury (PI); consequently, risk factor modification is an important aspect of prevention and treatment. One of the fundamental documentation details when describing a wound is the use of the appropriate staging system. Each …

Role of Application of SWCR Guidelines in Management of Right Trochanter Pressure Injury (PI)By Vaibhav Shukla, Ravi Kumar Chittoria, Amrutha J.S., Jacob Antony Chakiath
Abstract: A 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, …
