NICE recommends considering using a validated scale, such as the Braden scale, the Waterlow score, the Norton risk assessment scale, or the Braden Q scale (for children), when assessing pressure ulcer risk.
What are the 5 stages of pressure injuries?
Stage 1: just erythema of the skin. Stage 2: erythema with the loss of partial thickness of the skin including epidermis and part of the superficial dermis. Stage 3: full thickness ulcer that might involve the subcutaneous fat. Stage 4: full thickness ulcer with the involvement of the muscle or bone.
What is the difference between Stage 4 and unstageable?
Stage 4 pressure injuries extend to muscle, tendon, or bone. Unstageable pressure injuries are when the stage is not clear. In these cases, the base of the wound is covered by a layer of dead tissue that may be yellow, grey, green, brown, or black. The doctor cannot see the base of the wound to determine the stage.
What is the pressure injury rating scale?
The three most widely used scales are the Braden Scale, the Norton Scale, and the Waterlow Scale. The Braden Scale,1,7,8 which is commonly used in the United States, consists of six items: sensory perception, moisture, activity, mobility, nutrition, and friction and shearing.
What are the guidelines for staging pressure ulcers?
The stages are as follows: Stage 1: The skin is intact with nonblanchable erythema. Stage 2: There is partial-thickness skin loss involving the epidermis and dermis. Stage 3: A full-thickness loss of skin extends to the subcutaneous tissue but does not cross the fascia beneath it.

Category 3: Full thickness skin loss Full thickness tissue loss. Subcutaneous fat may be visible, but bone, tendon or muscle are not exposed. Slough may be present but does not obscure the depth of tissue loss. May include undermining and tunnelling.
What is the grading system for pressure injuries?
Pressure sores are graded to four levels, including: grade I skin discolouration, usually red, blue, purple or black. grade II some skin loss or damage involving the top-most skin layers. grade III necrosis (death) or damage to the skin patch, limited to the skin layers.
