Introduction: Pressure injuries in the hospital burden the organizational resources and negatively affect the quality of life of patients. The purpose of this study was to review the use of bedside technologies for the early detection of pressure injuries Trauma Triage and deep tissue injuries (DTPI). Methodology: This paper is a systematic review of the PubMed online database. Original studies published in the last decade in English were included. Results: A total of 9 studies were found representing a variety of technologies emergency department emergency severity index healing process including ultrasound (n=3) management meas-urement of subcutaneous moisture (n=2) and spectrophotometry and Doppler laser (n = 1). Hypodermic moisture measurement provided the most consistent capabilities in the timely detection of pressure injuries. Conclusions: The data provided in this systematic review support the use of subcutaneous moisture measuring devices as effective tools for early injury detection. However more technology research is needed to support the use of existing and emerging devices to detect pressure injuries non-erythematous pressure-related erythema (PrNBE) scar prevention thermography (n = 3) triage systems which include pressure-related erythema erythematosus (PrBE)
