Abstract
We sought to address a critical component of HAPU development by providing a new algorithm for repositioning that "teaches the body to turn." This new ICU Pressure Injury Prevention (PIP) algorithm provides guidelines for repositioning of hemodynamically unstable patients reducing Hospital acquired pressure ulcers.
