ICU-Specific Pressure Injury Risk Assessment Scale (RAPS-ICU)
The RAPS-ICU was developed by W°ahlin et al to identify patients at risk of developing pressure injuries in the ICU. The RAPS-ICU has six domains that assess failure in vital organs, mobility, moisture, sensory perceptions, special treatments, and consciousness. Five of the six domains scored 1-4 points progressing from most to least severity of alteration; failure in vital organs domains ranged from 1-3 points. Overall PI risk is reflected by a total score ranging from 6 to 23. The lower the total score the greater the estimated risk of developing a PI. Risk scores can be categorized as increased (16-18), high (12-15), and very high (≤11) risk for PI.
