摘要
Spinal cord injury is cited as one of the most devastating injuries and places an individual at high risk for pressure ulcers. This article examines the research about pressure ulcers in patients with spinal cord injuries and provides guidelines for wound prevention. It also provides guidelines for patient and caregiver education, which are critical in pressure ulcer prevention and treatment.
