This study aimed to determine the prevalence of static graduated compression stocking (sGCS)-associated pressure injury among patients in surgical intensive care units (ICUs).
We retrospectively reviewed data from wound care rounds between April 2011 and June 2012 at 3 surgical ICUs at an urban, tertiary care hospital. Patients with sGCS-associated pressure injury were identified and descriptive analysis was performed on their demographic, perioperative, and postoperative characteristics.
We examined 1787 individual patients during 2391 patient encounters. A total of 129 (7.2%) of patients developed pressure injuries. Forty patients (2.2%) developed sGCS-associated pressure injury. Static GCS-associated pressure injury accounted for 31% (40/129) of all pressure injuries and 74% (40/54) of all medical device-related pressure injury. Eighteen (45%) and 6 (15%) developed stage 1 and 2 pressure injury, respectively, and 16 (40%) developed deep tissue injuries. The mean age of our patients was 64.7 years, about half (47.5%) were male, and their mean Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score was 18.8. Many had comorbid conditions, including obesity (44.5%) and diabetes (42.5%), and required mechanical ventilation (45%).
Pressure injuries are a notable complication of sGCS in surgical ICU patients. Appropriate measures are required to help avoid this potentially preventable harm.
本研究旨在确定外科重症监护病房(ICU)患者中静态渐进性加压弹力袜(sGCS)相关压力性损伤的发生率。
我们回顾性分析了一家城市三级医院3个外科ICU在2011年4月至2012年6月期间伤口护理查房的数据。识别出发生sGCS相关压力性损伤的患者,并对其人口统计学、围手术期和术后特征进行描述性分析。
我们在2391次患者诊疗过程中检查了1787例个体患者。共有129例(7.2%)患者发生了压力性损伤。40例(2.2%)患者发生了sGCS相关压力性损伤。静态GCS相关压力性损伤占所有压力性损伤的31%(40/129),占所有医疗器械相关压力性损伤的74%(40/54)。分别有18例(45%)和6例(15%)发生了1期和2期压力性损伤,16例(40%)发生了深部组织损伤。我们患者的平均年龄为64.7岁,约一半(47.5%)为男性,其平均急性生理与慢性健康状况评分II为18.8。许多患者有合并症,包括肥胖(44.5%)和糖尿病(42.5%),并需要机械通气(45%)。
压力性损伤是外科ICU患者使用sGCS时的一种显著并发症。需要采取适当措施来避免这种潜在的可预防伤害。
