Abstract
Background
Pressure injuries significantly impact patients in intensive care units and the healthcare system. Hypoxia, a major contributor to pressure injury development, can be promptly identified by monitoring arterial partial pressure of oxygen. However, the dose–response relationship between arterial partial pressure of oxygen and pressure injuries remains unclear.
Objectives
To determine how mean arterial partial pressure of oxygen within 24 h before the appearance of a pressure injury influences pressure injury outcomes in ICU patients, elucidating the dose–response relationship, and underscoring the importance of including arterial oxygen pressure in routine pressure injury risk assessments.
Methods
We conducted this multi-center cross-sectional study in Gansu province of China from April 2021 to July 2023. The incidence and influencing factors of pressure injuries were collected. Logistic and restricted cubic spline regression analyses were used to assess the association between pressure injuries and arterial partial pressure of oxygen. Subgroup analyses stratified by age and sex were conducted to explore potential correlations.
Results
Among 6078 participants, the incidence of pressure injury was 2.34 %. After adjusting for all confounding factors, patients with low arterial partial pressure of oxygen were more likely to develop pressure injury than those with normal levels (OR 1.753, 95 %CI 1.142 ∼ 2.693). The dose–response relationship shows a significant non-linear dose–response correlation between arterial partial pressure of oxygen and pressure injury risk (P = 0.011). Layered analysis shows that the impact is more pronounced in older individuals and males.
Conclusions
As arterial partial pressure of oxygen decreases, the occurrence of pressure injuries gradually increases. Incorporating arterial partial pressure of oxygen into daily pressure injury risk assessments is crucial.
Implications for clinical practice
Our study results will offer targeted insights for the prevention and management of pressure injuries.
期刊介绍:
The aims of Intensive and Critical Care Nursing are to promote excellence of care of critically ill patients by specialist nurses and their professional colleagues; to provide an international and interdisciplinary forum for the publication, dissemination and exchange of research findings, experience and ideas; to develop and enhance the knowledge, skills, attitudes and creative thinking essential to good critical care nursing practice. The journal publishes reviews, updates and feature articles in addition to original papers and significant preliminary communications. Articles may deal with any part of practice including relevant clinical, research, educational, psychological and technological aspects.
