Official title

Investigation of the Effect of Blood Pressure on Bedsores in Adult Internal Medicine Intensive Care Patients

Overview

Detailed description

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.

Primary outcome measures

Decubitus Ulcer [Time frame: For 10 days]

Secondary outcome measures (3)

Vital signs - Blood pressure measurements (SBP, DBP) [Time frame: For 10 days]
Vital signs - heart rate [Time frame: For 10 days]
Vital signs - respiratory rate [Time frame: For 10 days]

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion criteria

Patients admitted to the intensive care unit,

Exclusion criteria

Patients under 18 years of age,
Patients who did not give their consent for the study or whose relatives did not consent, or who wanted to leave while the study was ongoing,
Patients who arrived with bedsores
