The Analysis of Skin Temperature by Long Wave Infrared Imaging to Determine Its Effectiveness as a Predictor of Tissue Injury

Status unconfirmed

Conditions studied: Pressure Ulcers, Tissue Injury

In brief

Long-wave infrared imaging can be used to identify skin temperature changes associated with underlying tissue changes. We want to determine if the use of Long Wave infrared Imaging is as effective as the Braden Score in predicting nosocomial pressure ulcers.
