Abstract:
With the outbreak of COVID-19, non-stop working medical staff need to wear protective equipment for a long time, which could easily cause device-related pressure injuries to nose, cheek, forehead or the back of auricle, and might even cause facial skin swelling and ulceration. The above problems reduce work efficiency and increase the infection risk for healthcare people. This article introduces the concept of device-related pressure injuries and summarizes the progress of the treatment for device-related pressure injuries at home and abroad in recent years, aiming at providing guidance for frontline medical staff to prevent device-related pressure injuries.
