Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the incidence and risk factors of pressure ulcers (PUs) in an Italian general intensive care unit, finding a PU rate of 33% among 122 patients over 5 days or more in ICU.
- - Most PUs were categorized as stage II and were primarily located on the sacrum, highlighting that while various factors contribute to PU development, only the length of ICU stay was statistically significant.
- - The findings suggest a need for targeted prevention strategies by nurses, given the comparable incidence rates with other studies and the identification of multiple risk factors affecting PU development.
