High-Pressure Injection Injuries
The Journal of Hand Surgery, 2012EFINITION igh-pressure injection injuries occur when equipment apable of achieving pressures sufficient to breach the uman skin injects its contents into the human body, ost commonly into the hand. The pressure required to penetrate intact human skin is commonly cited at 7 bar (7 10 N/m) or 100 psi.

Medical Device–Related Pressure Injuries
Critical Care Nursing Clinics of North America, 2020Medical device-related pressure injuries result from use of medical devices, equipment, furniture, and everyday objects in direct contact with skin and because of increased external mechanical load leading to soft tissue damage. The resultant pressure injury generally mirrors the pattern or shape of the device.

Pressure Injury Prevention: A Survey
IEEE Reviews in Biomedical Engineering, 2020Pressure injuries are caused by prolonged pressure to an area of the body, which can result in open wounds that descend to the bone. Pressure injuries should not occur in healthcare settings, and yet, they still affect 2.5 million patients in the United States and have an impact on quality of life. Pressure injuries come at a cost of $11 billion in the

Reducing Tracheostomy-Related Pressure Injuries
AACN Advanced Critical Care, 2018An interprofessional team was established to prevent tracheostomy-related acquired pressure injuries. The team performed an in-depth analysis of practice from tracheostomy insertion through postinsertion care. A literature evaluation identified best practices, and a root cause analysis for all tracheostomy-related pressure injury cases identified ...

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1989
High-pressure water jets are commonly used for complex industrial cleaning jobs, yet we found few reports of injuries attributed to these potentially dangerous devices. We present a case of severe laceration to the lower extremity caused by a high-pressure water jet with concomitant major vascular injury, apparently the first reported.
