How and where do pressure injuries occur?
Ischemia has previously been widely recognized as the cause of pressure injuries and has historically been explained as the sole reason for their development. However, recent research has shown that there is another primary cause of pressure ulcers - cell deformation. Cell deformation typically involves higher and more intense pressure, while ischemia involves lower pressure that lasts for a longer period of time (1).

Globally: Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs) and the Urgent Need for Prevention
Demographic - What are we facing?
We have witnessed a significant global trend in the aging population, and Australia is no exception to this phenomenon. In Australia, the projection for the population aged 85 and above indicates a staggering increase of 140%, soaring from 534,000 in 2021 to 1.28 million by 2041. This surge in the elderly population has subsequently led to a substantial rise in the demand for home care services. In fact, the number of individuals utilizing such services has more than tripled from 2011 to 2021.(1)
