This study examined the incidence and risk factors that relate to the development of sacral pressure ulcers following elective cardiac surgery. Perioperative variables were assessed using 136 adult patients. Ulcers, including 16 Stage I and 21 Stage II-III, occurred on 27.2% (n = 37) of the patients. Factors such as older age, transfer from another hospital, and a history of diabetes, were associated with ulcer development. These findings may be used to identify patients at risk for pressure ulcers during cardiac surgery.
本研究调查了择期心脏手术后骶骨压疮发生的发生率及相关危险因素。对136例成年患者的围手术期变量进行了评估。37例（27.2%）患者发生了压疮，其中16例为I期，21例为II - III期。年龄较大、从其他医院转入以及有糖尿病史等因素与压疮的发生有关。这些发现可用于识别心脏手术期间有发生压疮风险的患者。
