Abstract
This guideline is provided so that acute care facilities can develop local practices to support the accurate identification, assessment and associated interventions to reduce the incidence of pressure injuries in critically ill adults in the intensive care environment (individuals aged older than 14). It does not include recommendations regarding assessment, staging of pressure injuries or their associated management. Clinicians should refer to the 2011 Pan Pacific Clinical Practice Guidelines for further details.
