Pressure Ulcers

According to Ayello & Braden (2002), high pressure on a particular part of the body leads to lymphatic circulation which gets impaired and in the compressed tissues hypo perfusion develops, which results in a blood flow which is compromised and toxic intracellular material accumulates leading to interstitial haemorrhage, hypoxia, cellular death and acidosis. The amount of damage is affected by both the intensity and duration of pressure. Reperfusion/ischemic injury results when tissue perfusion is re-established after a long period of high loading, This has been highly implicated in damage by tissue, localized compression is highly ...
