Despite ongoing efforts to improve the prediction, prevention, and treatment of pressure ulcers, clinicians continue to face an overwhelming array of confusing, and sometimes conflicting, information about the technologies used to lower pressure. The purpose of this article is to explain the fundamental differences among units of pressure measurement and those pressures (capillary closing, tissue interface, internal cushion, and hydrostatic) that are commonly described in research as well as sales literature. A clearer understanding of these parameters will help clinicians make informed evaluations of distinct technologies, set realistic expectations for different products, and achieve desired outcomes cost-effectively.
尽管一直在努力改进压疮的预测、预防和治疗，但临床医生在面对用于降低压力的技术时，仍面临着大量令人困惑且有时相互矛盾的信息。本文旨在解释压力测量单位以及研究和销售文献中常见描述的那些压力（毛细血管闭合压、组织界面压、内部缓冲压和静水压力）之间的根本差异。更清楚地了解这些参数将有助于临床医生对不同技术做出明智的评估，对不同产品设定现实的期望，并以具有成本效益的方式实现预期结果。
