Repeatability of metrics of skin microvascular function at pressure injury-prone sites using a direct pressure and heating protocol

Introduction: This study evaluated the repeatability of a heating and pressure protocol using laser Doppler flowmetry to measure the full dynamic range of skin microvascular responses at the sacrum and heel - key sites for pressure injury risk.Methods: Twelve healthy participants (10 male, 2 female;...
