About this listen
Ever felt like you were "in the weeds" with a complex pressure injury? You aren't alone. Our guest, Caitlin Schober, PT, DPT, from Broda Seating and I are ditching the dry textbook definitions and getting into the nitty-gritty of skin protection through seating options.
We discuss why a Stage 1 is trickier than you think, the "traffic jam" caused by those pesky donut cushions, and how to advocate for high-level seating (like Broda) without sounding like you're threatening the facility's bottom line.
Whether you're a student or a seasoned pro, this episode is packed with "Aha!" moments for geriatric care.
Key Takeaways:- Immersion vs. Envelopment: It's not just about sinking; it's about how the cushion "hugs" those bony prominences.
- Adaptive > Corrective: In geriatric and neuro care, sometimes we need to conform the chair to the person to prevent pain and skin breakdown.
- Perfusion is King: "Good blood in, bad stuff out." If the seating stops that flow, we've got a problem.
