Deep Tissue Injury. Pressure and non-pressure ulcers and deep tissue injuries should be documented in a timely fashion and using specific language (i.e., Present on Admission, when appropriate). CRITICAL documentation element: Skin ulcers that are not Present on Admission are considered complications of hospital care.
What is a “Deep Tissue” Injury? By Nursing Home Law Center Just as it sounds, a ‘deep tissue injury’ is an injury to a patients underlying tissue below the skin’s surface that results from prolonged pressure in an area of the body. Similar to a pressure sore, a deep tissue injury restricts blood flow in the tissue causing the tissue to die.

Deep Tissue Injury Overview Deep tissue injury is a term proposed by NPAUP to describe a unique form of pressure ulcers. These ulcers have been described by clinicians for many years with terms such as purple pressure ulcers, ulcers that are likely to deteriorate and bruises on bony prominences (Ankrom, 2005).
Deep tissue injury (DTI) is a form of pressure ulcer or pressure sore. Steps for preventing pressure ulcers include the use of a foam mattress (or one filled with gel or air) and pads placed under the patient to absorb any moisture and keep the skin dry. Soft foam set between body parts that press against each other, or the mattress, can also alleviate the pressure.

: A deep tissue pressure injury (DTPI) is a serious type of pressure injury that begins in the muscle closest to the bone and may not be visible in its early stages. Its hallmark is rapid deterioration despite the use of appropriate preventive interventions. In 2007, the National Pressure Ulcer Advi …

Deep tissue pressure injuries (DTPI) are persistent non-blanchable deep red, purple or maroon areas of intact skin, non-intact skin or blood-filled blisters caused by damage to the underlying soft tissues. It is common for a thin blister to form over the surface of the dark wound bed, and the wound may further evolve to become covered by thin ...
