Effects of ambient conditions on the risk of pressure injuries in bedridden patients—multi‐physics modelling of microclimate

Scientific evidence regarding microclimate and its effects on the risk of pressure ulcers (PU) remains sparse. It is known that elevated skin temperatures and moisture may affect metabolic demand as well as the mechanical behaviour of the tissue. In this study, we incorporated these microclimate fac...
