Pressure ulceration grade 1
Definition
Pressure ulceration grade I is a precursor to skin ulceration. The skin remains intact but there is non-blanchable redness of a localised area, usually over a bony prominence. The area may be painful, firm, soft, warmer or cooler as compared to adjacent tissue. It can be difficult to detect in individuals with dark skin but affected areas may differ in colour from the surrounding skin. The presence of pressure ulceration grade 1 may indicate persons at risk of progressing to frank ulceration.
