Study Notes
Pressure Ulcers and Effects of Immobility
- Pressure ulcers have different stages, ranging from erythema of intact skin to full-thickness skin and tissue loss.
- Stage I pressure ulcers are characterized by erythema, warmth, and a burning or tingling sensation.
- Stage II pressure ulcers involve partial-thickness loss and may have blisters or shallow ulcerations.
- Stage III pressure ulcers involve full-thickness loss and may have undermining and tunneling.
- Stage IV pressure ulcers involve deep tissue necrosis and can lead to bone infection.
- Unstageable pressure ulcers have full-thickness tissue loss but are obscured by eschar or slough.
- Immobility can have various effects on different body systems.
- Musculoskeletal effects include muscle weakness, atrophy, and contractures.
- Cardiovascular effects include decreased cardiac output and increased risk of blood clots.
- Respiratory effects include decreased lung expansion and increased risk of pneumonia.
- Gastrointestinal effects include decreased peristalsis and increased gas and constipation.
- Neurological effects include compression neuropathy and impaired level of consciousness.
