Preventing Medical Device-Related Pressure Ulcer (MDRPU)
Medical device-related pressure ulcer (MDRPU)
Many patients need medical devices to live. Patients who have to live with medical devices face a constant pressure-related risk of potential for disfigurement and loss of function due to Medical Device-Related Pressure Ulcers (MDRPU). Medical device-related pressure ulcers generally are associated with healthcare settings and involve tubings, such as nasogastric (NG), oxygen and endotracheal, and ventilation masks.
