This section focuses on the research completed to develop the SEM assessment technology foundational science and mode of operation. Including how SEM assessment technology identifies increased risk of pressure injury and how to treat a high SEM (∆) delta as a stage/category 1 pressure injury to prevent them from further deterioration.
McEvoy N. et al. 2024. Intensive and Critical Care Nursing
Aim: This study set out to determine the correlation between Sub-Epidermal Moisture measurements and Braden scores among Intensive Care Unit Patients.
Wilson, H. et al. 2024. International Wound Journal.
Aim: This article focuses on the correlation between SEM and ultrasound. The correlation between sub-epidermal moisture (SEM) and other early indica-tors of pressure injury development is yet to be determined. The first part of a three-part series aims to bridge this knowledge gap, through investigating SEM and its correlation with evidence-based technologies and assessments.
Byrne, S. et al. 2022. International Wound Journal
Aim: This study aimed to investigate the impact of sub-epidermal moisture (SEM) measurement and targeted pressure injury prevention, versus visual skin assessment and usual care, on mean SEM delta scores and early pressure injury development in acute hospital patients.
Martins de Oliveira, A. L. et al. 2022. Journal of Wound Care
Aim: To compare the predictive ability of sub-epidermal moisture (SEM) measurement versus traditional risk assessment and visual skin assessment (VSA) as means of detecting early pressure injury damage development among adults undergoing surgery.
Gershon, S., Okonkwo, H. 2021. Journal of Wound Care
Aim: To evaluate the ability of an objective test, the SEM, to discriminate between subjects with confirmed pressure injury with intact skin versus those with no pressure damage.
