Study Notes
Stage 1 Pressure Injury
- Intact skin with non-blanchable redness over a localized area, typically over bony prominence
- Characterized by capillary compromise within the skin layer
Differentiating Skin Tones
- In lighter skin tones, non-blanchable redness appears as red color
- In darker skin tones, non-blanchable redness appears as persistent erythema and hyperpigmentation
GLOBIAD Stages of Incontinence Associated Dermatitis
- Category 1: Persistent redness
- 1A: Persistent redness without clinical signs of infection
- 1B: Persistent redness with clinical signs of infection
- Category 2: Skin loss
- 2A: Skin loss without clinical signs of infection
- 2B: Skin loss with clinical signs of infection
Characteristics of GLOBIAD Stages
- Critical criteria: persistent redness, skin loss, signs of inflammation, satellite lesions
- Additional criteria: marked areas of discoloration, shiny appearance, macerated skin, intact vesicles and bullae, skin tension or swelling, burning, tingling, itching, or pain
Incontinence Associated Dermatitis (IAD) vs. Pressure Ulcer
- IAD: caused by urinary and/or fecal incontinence, affects perineum, perigenital, and peristomal areas, diffuse with poorly defined edges
- Pressure Ulcer: caused by exposure to pressure/shear, typically over bony prominence, distinct edges or margins
