Effects of a Support Surface on Homeostasis: A Look at Deep Tissue Injury
Presentation Time: 1 hour, 30 minutes
Poor support surface choices can be clinically and financially devastating to both patient
and facility, yet the variety of surfaces available can make the process overwhelming. This
educational offering will review basic concepts of homeostasis as taught in internationally
renowned textbooks of medical physiology, pathophysiology, chemistry, and physics. Other key
topics include autoregulation, cellular biology, inflammatory response, and endothelial
function. This presentation will identify endothelial function and damage as the culprit in
tissue necrosis and show how to choose support surfaces that prevent endothelial damage and
facilitate homeostasis.
