Highest pressure injury stage
Active
Description
The National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel redefined the definition of a pressure ulcer and the stages of pressure ulcers in 2007, including the original 4 stages (Non-blanchable erythema - Stage I, partial thickness - Stage II, full thickness skin loss - Stage III, and full thickness tissue loss - Stage IV) and adding 2 stages on deep tissue injury and unstageable pressure ulcers. As defined by the NPUAP, a pressure ulcer is localized injury to the skin and/or underlying tissue usually over a bony prominence, as a result of pressure, or pressure in combination with shear. This is the NPUAP stage of the wound tissue of the most severe or highest staged pressure ulcer observed on a patient. Copyright Copyright © 2012 National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP).
