Pressure injuries (previously called pressure ulcers) are a common finding among patients in acute, long-term, or home settings. Numerous pathophysiologic and risk mechanisms factor into the development of pressure injuries. The timely recognition of these injuries is imperative. Many treatments exist for pressure injuries but the focus of patient management should be on preventing injury-related complications.
