Objective: The administration of oxygen therapy (O) in neonatal intensive care units (NICU) increases the risk of developing pressure injuries (PBI). The aims of the study were to describe the incidence of PBI associated with O devices in the NICU, to identify, analyze and relate risk factors and the application of their preventive measures.
Methods: A retrospective, observational and analytical study of hospitalized neonates who developed PPL secondary to O2 devices in the NICU of the Miguel Servet University Hospital of Zaragoza was carried out.
