Q21 Q22 Q23 Q24 Q25 Q26 Q27 Q28 Q29 Q30 Q31 Q32 Q33 Studies show tht lrge mount of moisture usully decreses sher nd friction. However, mild moisture lters the resiliency of the epidermis, nd sher nd friction re incresed to mild or moderte moisture. e Hypotension my shunt blood flow wy from the skin to more vitl orgns, decresing the skin tolernce for pressure by llowing cpillries to close t lower levels of interfce pressure. e One study found tht surgicl procedures lsting longer thn four hours triple the risk of tissue dmge. Therefore, even the helthiest ptient cn be t risk for tissue dmge. Infnts nd children get pressure ulcers in DIFFERENT res thn dults. The most common res re er, scrum, occipitl re nd scpul.
