Analysis of the Characteristics and Influencing Factors of Medical Device Pressure Injury in ICU Patients

Abstract

Objective To understand the characteristics of medical device pressure injury in intensive care unit patients and explore its related influencing factors. Methods A total of 280 patients in ICU of Baoding First Central Hospital from August to December 2022 were selected and divided into the occurrence group and the non-occurrence group according to whether MDRPI occurred. The general data, clinical data and device use were compared between the two groups. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of MDRPI in ICU patients. Results Fifty-five patients developed MDRPI, with an incidence of 19.6%. Age, prone position ventilation and APACHEⅡ score were the influencing factors of MDRPI in ICU patients (P<0.05). Conclusions Patients in ICU are prone to develop MDRPI due to old age, prone position ventilation, critical condition, large number of medical devices and use of non-invasive ventilation masks. In order to reduce the incidence of MDRPI, nursing staff should make a comprehensive evaluation of patients and give preventive measures in advance.
