Abstract
Prevention has been a primary goal of pressure ulcer research. Despite such efforts, pressure ulcers remain common in hospitals and the community. Moreover, pressure ulcers often become chronic wounds that are difficult to treat and tend to recur after healing. Especially given these challenges, dermatologists should have the knowledge and skills to implement pressure ulcer prevention strategies and to effectively treat pressure ulcers in their patients. This continuing medical education article will focus on pressure ulcer prevention and management, with a particular emphasis on the evidence for commonly accepted practices.
