Summary
Pressure sores, also known as pressure ulcers, are a significant complication among hospitalized patients, particularly those who are immobile or require prolonged care. Intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) devices are routinely used to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT); however, they have been associated with pressure injuries, especially over bony prominences such as the ankles. Furthermore, IPC devices may lead to less commonly recognized complications, including compartment syndrome and bullous lesions. This study aims to assess the incidence and characteristics of pressure sores related to IPC device use, focusing on ankle lesions.
