3 8/18/211 OASIS Alert! Integument items are based on what you see AND are modified by CMS guidance for reporting findings Unavoidable Pressure Ulcer NPUAP March 21 Unavoidable - means that the individual developed a pressure ulcer even though the provider had evaluated the individual's clinical condition and pressure ulcer risk factors; defined and implemented interventions that are consistent with individual needs goals and recognized standards of practice; monitored and evaluated the impact of the interventions; and revised the approaches as appropriate. 2

4 8/18/211 NPUAP The National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel s recent consensus conference panelists agreed that patients who choose not to participate in their own pressure ulcer prevention could develop unavoidable pressure ulcers. They also agreed that there are clinical situations in which the development of pressure ulcers can be unavoidable. Press release 3/21 The NPUAP expert panel: Twenty-four multidisciplinary experts in pressure ulcer prevention and treatment comprised the voting panelists. Specialties included medicine, geriatrics, surgery, specialty nursing, physical therapy and dieticians. The international panel represented professional wound organizations, accrediting bodies, hospitals, rehabilitation agencies, long-term care, hospice, and home care. Unavoidable PU WOCN March 29 WOCN Position Paper: Avoidable versus Unavoidable Pressure Ulcers Pressure Ulcer Definition Localized injury to the skin and/or underlying tissue usually over a bony prominence, as a result of pressure, or pressure in combination with shear and/or friction. 4 Stages + Suspected Deep Tissue Injury + Unstageable 3

5 8/18/211 Stage I NPUAP 27 Intact skin with non-blanchable redness of a localized area usually over a bony prominence. Darkly pigmented skin may not have visible blanching; its color may differ from the surrounding area. Further description: The area may be painful, firm, soft, warmer or cooler as compared to adjacent tissue. Stage I may be difficult to detect in individuals with dark skin tones. May indicate "at risk" persons (a heralding sign of risk). STAGE II NPUAP 27 Partial thickness loss of dermis presenting as a shallow open ulcer with a red pink wound bed, without slough. May also present as an intact or open/ruptured serum-filled blister. Further description: Presents as a shiny or dry shallow ulcer without slough or bruising.* This stage should not be used to describe skin tears, tape burns, perineal dermatitis, maceration or excoriation. *Bruising indicates suspected deep tissue injury Stage III NPUAP 27 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 tunneling. Further description: The depth of a stage III pressure ulcer varies by anatomical location. The bridge of the nose, ear, occiput and malleolus do not have subcutaneous tissue and stage III ulcers can be shallow. In contrast, areas of significant adiposity can develop extremely deep stage III pressure ulcers. Bone/tendon is not visible or directly palpable. 4

6 8/18/211 Stage IV NPUAP 27 Full thickness tissue loss with exposed bone, tendon or muscle. Slough or eschar may be present on some parts of the wound bed. Often include undermining and tunneling. Further description: The depth of a stage IV pressure ulcer varies by anatomical location. The bridge of the nose, ear, occiput and malleolus do not have subcutaneous tissue and these ulcers can be shallow. Stage IV ulcers can extend into muscle and/or supporting structures (e.g., fascia, tendon or joint capsule) making osteomyelitis possible. Exposed bone/tendon is visible or directly palpable. Suspected Deep Tissue Injury (SDTI) Purple or maroon localized area of discolored intact skin OR a blood filled blister due to damage of underlying soft tissue from pressure and/or shear The area may be preceded by tissue that is painful, firm, mushy, boggy, warmer or cooler as compared to adjacent tissue. (NPUAP 27) Suspected Deep Tissue Injury Further description: Deep tissue injury may be difficult to detect in individuals with dark skin tones. Evolution may include a thin blister over a dark wound bed. The wound may further evolve and become covered by thin eschar. Evolution may be rapid exposing additional layers of tissue even with optimal treatment. 5

7 8/18/211 Unstageable NPUAP 27 Full thickness tissue loss in which the base of the ulcer is covered by slough (yellow, tan, gray, green or brown) and/or eschar (tan, brown or black) in the wound bed. Further description: Until enough slough and/or eschar is removed to expose the base of the wound, the true depth, and therefore stage, cannot be determined. Stable (dry, adherent, intact without erythema or fluctuance) eschar on the heels serves as "the body's natural (biological) cover" and should not be removed. OASIS Alert! Unstageable pressure ulcers Pressure ulcer under a dressing or device that cannot be removed Full thickness tissue loss in which the true wound depth is obscured by slough and/or eschar in the wound bed Suspected deep tissue injury in evolution OASIS Alert! A previously stageable pressure ulcer now covered by eschar is considered unstageable 6

8 8/18/211 Pressure Ulcers Partial thickness tissue loss Involves epidermis and into but not through the dermis Superficial; presents as shallow crater, abrasion or blister Heals by epithelialization regeneration of epidermis across a wound surface Includes Stage I and II pressure ulcers OASIS Alerts! Stage II pressure ulcers that close/heal/fully epithelialize are not reportable on OASIS and therefore will not be newly epithelialized for data collection. Stage II pressure ulcers do not granulate and can only be not healing for data collection. Wound Primer: Definition Pressure Ulcers Full thickness tissue loss Penetrates through the fat (subcutaneous tissue) and may involve muscle, tendon, or bone Deep crater; may tunnel Heals by granulation, contraction and epithelialization Never considered fully healed Closed when fully granulated and covered with new epithelial tissue Includes Stage III and IV pressure ulcers 7

9 8/18/211 Degree/Status of Healing Pressure Ulcer Wound Status Not healing Early/partial granulation Fully granulating Newly epithelialized When epithelial tissue has completely covered the wound surface regardless of how long the pressure ulcer has been re-epithelialized. Wound Guidance Document WOCN Definitions Degree of Healing Not healing Wound with 25% avascular tissue (eschar and/or slough) OR Signs/symptoms of infection OR Clean but non-granulating wound bed OR Closed/hyperkeratotic wound edges OR Persistent failure to improve despite appropriate p comprehensive wound management Early/partial granulation 25% of the wound bed is covered with granulation tissue < 25% of the wound bed is covered with avascular tissue (eschar and/or slough) No signs or symptoms of infection Wound edges open WOCN Definitions Degree of Healing Fully granulating Wound bed filled with granulation tissue to the level of the surrounding skin No dead space No avascular tissue (eschar and/or slough) No signs or symptoms of infection Wound edges are open Newly epithelialized Wound bed completely covered with new epithelium No exudate No avascular tissue (eschar and/or slough) No signs or symptoms of infection 8
