The aim of this study is to comprehensively investigate the effect of blood pressure levels on the development of bedsores (pressure ulcers) in adult patients hospitalized in the internal medicine intensive care unit.
The aim of this study is to comprehensively investigate the effect of blood pressure levels on the development of bedsores (pressure ulcers) in adult patients hospitalized in the internal medicine intensive care unit. In intensive care patients, several factors, such as prolonged immobility, decreased level of consciousness, circulatory disorders, and hemodynamic instability, increase the risk of bedsore formation. This study specifically aims to evaluate the effects of systemic blood pressure changes-such as hypotension or hypertension-on skin integrity and to determine the contribution of these effects to the development of bedsores.
