The National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel states that any local injury in the skin or underlying tissue commonly over the pressure points is called as the Pressure ulcer. Barden Scale is one of the most preferred tools for estimating the Pressure ulcer. Here is the Braden scale for predicting Pressure Sore risk chart which helps you in the pressure ulcer risk assessment according to the Braden score. Braden Scale pressure ulcer table provides the Braden Scale score interpretation.
