Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to discuss the risk factors and frequency associated with pressure ulcer (PU) development in intensive care units (ICU). Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis of patients with PU admitted to the 25-bed ICU on January 1 2016-2017 was carried out. Patients who were in intensive care for more than 48 hours were included in the study. Patients were evaluated in terms of demographic data of pressure ulcers in intensive care unit, number of days in intensive care unit, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score, primary diagnoses, days of pressure ulcer development, number of days of mechanical ventilation and wound infections and ulcer pressures. Results: In follow-up with the Norton risk assessment scale, 25 patient of 1625 patients accepted intensive care developed a pressure ulcer (1.5%). Pressure Ulceration day was found to be 16.5 days from hospitalization. Twenty of 25 patients were treated with wet dressing (Phase II). The most common pathogens in PU infections were Acinetobacter baumanii (in 3 patients) and MRSA (in 2 patients). Sacrum and coccyx were the common areas of pressure sores. Conclusion: Pressure ulcers are an important problem for intensive care and elderly patients. In these patients, initial applications should be primarily to prevent the development of PU, because risk assessment and prevention efforts may prevent the formation and progression.

Özet

Amaç: Çalışma yoğun bakım ünitelerinde (YBÜ) basınç ülseri (BÜ) gelişimiyle ilişkili olan risk faktörlerini ve sıklığını tartışmayı amaçlamıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmada 25 yataklı YBÜ’de 1 Ocak 2016-2017 tarihlerinde kabul edilen hastalardan BÜ gelişen hastaların retrospektif analizi yapıldı. Kırk sekiz saatten daha uzun süreyle YBÜ’de kalan hastalar çalışmaya dahil edildi. Yoğun bakımda BÜ gelişen hastaların demografik verileri, YBÜ kalış gün sayısı, Akut Fizyoloji ve Kronik Sağlık Durumu II Skoru, primer tanıları, BÜ gelişen gün sayısı, mekanik ventilasyon gün sayısı, BÜ’lere yaklaşım ve yara yeri enfeksiyonu açısından hastalar incelendi. Bulgular: Norton risk değerlendirme skalası ile yapılan takiplerde YBÜ’ye kabul edilen 1625 hastadan yüksek riskli gruba giren 25 hastada BÜ gelişti (%1,5). Bunların tümü invazif mekanik ventilasyon desteğinde, enteral ve parenteral nütrisyon alan ve sedoanaljezi uygulanan hastalardı (yaş ortalaması 72,5, 12 erkek/13 kadın). BÜ gelişme günü, yatışı takiben ortalama 16,5. gün idi. Yirmi beş hastanın 20’sinde ıslak pansuman uygulandı (Evre II). BÜ enfeksiyonlarında en sık görülen patojenler Acinetobacter Baumanii (3 hastada) ve MRSA (2 hastada) idi. Sakrum ve koksiks en sık bası yarası gelişen bölgelerdi. Sonuç: BÜ’ler, yoğun bakım ve yaşlı yatalak hastaları için önemli bir sorundur. Bu hastalarda öncelikle BÜ gelişmesini önlemeye yönelik uygulamalar yapılmalıdır, çünkü risk değerlendirmesi ve önleme çabaları oluşum ve ilerlemeyi engelleyebilir.
