Article Synopsis
- - The study aims to validate the nursing diagnosis of "risk for corneal injury" in critically ill adults, emphasizing the need for ongoing research in diverse populations for clinical evidence.
- - Conducted in Northern Brazil, the prospective cohort study involved assessing 209 patients over 10 days, revealing that 76% were at risk, with 16.3% actually developing corneal injuries linked to identified risk factors.
- - Key risk factors include eyeball exposure, a Glasgow score under 6, and periorbital edema, which can inform nursing interventions and enhance the diagnosis's reliability within the NANDA International Taxonomy.
Aim: To identify the incidence and risk factors for corneal injury amongst critically ill patients.
Method: A prospective cohort study with adult patients from one intensive care unit in Northern Brazil. Logistic regression was performed to predict the risk factors associated with corneal injury.
