Hydrogen Peroxide (H 2 O 2) breaks down to H 2 O + O or water + a single highly reative oxygen molecule. Ozone =O 3 which breaksdown to O 2 + O. It is this single oxygen molecule that reacts with pathogens.
Then make a separate determination of whether it is related to a medical device. The stage of MDR pressure injuries varies. 1 In one study, 35% of MDR pressure injuries were Stage 1, 32% were Stage 2, 3% were Stage 3 or Stage 4, 24% were unstageable, and 6% were DTPI. 2
Step 1- Pressure Injury Risk Assessment. Pressure injury risk assessment using the designated tool (Waterlow or Braden Q) must be completed for all patients as soon as possible after admission to Intensive Care to identify those patients âat riskâ of developing a pressure injury.
