Özet
Aim: The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of medical device-related pressure injuries in COVID-19 patients. Material and Method: This study was conducted with a cross-sectional and retrospective design. The data of 436 patients who were followed up and treated in the Anesthesia and Reanimation Intensive Care Unit with the diagnosis of COVID-19 disease between 11.03.2020- 31.02.2021 in a Training and Research Hospital in İstanbul were included in the study. The sample of the study consisted of 32 patients out of 436 patients who met the sampling criteria. The data obtained by retrospective reviewing of the patient records were analyzed through the "Patient Information Form" and "Pressure Injury Stage" forms. Results: Medical device-related pressure injury developed in 32 (7.3%) of 436 patients examined in the study on the specified dates. 90.6% of these patients were male, and the average age was 67.5. 43.7% had comorbid diseases. According to the Braden Risk Assessment Scale, 25% of these patients had medium and 71.8% high risk. Medical devices that cause pressure injury were continuous positive airway pressure mask (n=13), intubation tube (n=7), nasogastric tube (n=5), nasal cannula (n=3), gel pads (n=3), and oxygen mask (n=1). Conclusion: In this study, the potential factors in the study that may have led to the incidence of medical device-related pressure injury specific to COVID-19 disease include the rapid increase in the need for respiratory support, ischemia caused by this infection, and the use of prone position.
