Penile pressure ulcers secondary to indwelling catheter and prone positioning for COVID-19 infection

Prone ventilation is an effective and increasingly utilised tool in the management of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), a common sequela of COVID-19 infection. However, its use is associated with a significant risk of pressure ulcers. We report a unique case of prone positioning, catheter-...

description Prone ventilation is an effective and increasingly utilised tool in the management of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), a common sequela of COVID-19 infection. However, its use is associated with a significant risk of pressure ulcers. We report a unique case of prone positioning, catheter-related penile pressure ulcer. Clinical awareness, early recognition and regular repositioning is crucial in the prevention of this complication.
