Summary

Pressure wound (PW) is generally defined as localized damage to the skin and subcutaneous soft tissue on a bone protrusion or caused by medical devices. Although it is a preventable complication and one of the quality indicators for healthcare institutions, the prevalence of PW is high.Up to 95% of pressure wounds are preventable, but pressure wounds are only detected when sores become visible. Infrared thermography is used in the physiological and anatomical assessment of skin and subcutaneous tissue abnormalities and in detecting pressure injuries by measuring temperature changes caused by circulatory problems.The aim of the researchers is to compare the development of PW in patients admitted to intensive care by imaging the skin temperature in pressure areas using the traditional method and an infrared camera.
