Abstract

Hospital-acquired pressure ulcers and subsequent interventions are a substantial burden to patients. This article reviews the use of a sub-epidermal moisture (SEM) scanning device as an early and robust method of identifying the increased risk of pressure damage before it is visible on the surface of the skin. This could allow the implementation of early interventions and potentially decrease the frequency of hospital-acquired pressure ulcers.
