The National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP) held a Consensus Conference on Pressure Ulcer Staging April 8-9, 2016 in Chicago, Illinois. This was conducted by a moderator and six NPUAP members who were designated as the staging task force. This consisted of 4 nurses, 2 of which were nurse practitioners, one dietician and an individual with a Ph.D. in mechanical and aerospace engineering. Their purpose was "to revise the staging definitions to further clarify and refine the system and develop new nomenclature relevant to pressure related soft tissue injury" (Consensus Conference on Pressure Ulcer Staging, 2016). Many of the changes were not made by consensus but were predetermined by the task force. This includes the following changes. Pressure ulcers are now pressure injuries. The stages are described with Arabic numbers rather than Roman numerals. There are two new pressure categories - medical device related pressure injury and mucosal membrane pressure injury. New artwork has been created to depict the stages. There were changes made to all the stages, but only some of this was by consensus. These revisions were announced by press release on April 13, 2016.
国家压疮咨询小组(NPUAP)于2016年4月8日至9日在伊利诺伊州芝加哥市举行了一次关于压疮分期的共识会议。会议由一名主持人和六名被指定为分期工作组的NPUAP成员主持。该工作组由4名护士组成,其中2名是执业护士,一名营养师和一名拥有机械与航空航天工程博士学位的人员。他们的目的是“修订分期定义,以进一步澄清和完善该系统,并制定与压力相关软组织损伤相关的新术语”(压疮分期共识会议,2016年)。许多更改并非通过共识达成,而是由工作组预先确定的。这包括以下更改。压疮现在称为压力性损伤。分期用阿拉伯数字而非罗马数字描述。新增了两种压力性损伤类别——医疗器械相关压力性损伤和黏膜压力性损伤。已创作新的图示来描绘各分期。所有分期都有更改,但只有部分更改是通过共识达成的。这些修订于2016年4月13日通过新闻稿公布。
