Abstract

Skin injuries are a major healthcare problem that are not well understood or prevented in the critically ill, suggesting that underappreciated variables are contributing. This pilot study tested the hypothesis that perfusion-related factors contribute to skin injuries diagnosed as hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs). A total of 533 adult patients were followed over 2574 critical care days (mean age 62.4, standard deviation (SD) 14.3 years, mean body mass index 30.4 (SD 7.4) kg/m2, 36.4% female). This was a secondary analysis of prospective, non-randomised clinical data from an intensive care unit at a large urban teaching hospital. Factors related to perfusion, specifically two or more infusions of vasopressors/inotropes, temporary mechanical circulatory support (MCS), extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, and durable MCS, were analysed to determine whether they were more strongly associated with HAPIs than immobility due to prolonged mechanical ventilation (>72 h) or operating room time (>6 h). Patients diagnosed with a HAPI had a statistically significant higher risk of being exposed to variables related to perfusion and immobility (P < 0.05 for each variable). Perfusion-related variables, except durable MCS, had a larger effect on skin breakdown (number needed to harm (NNH) 4-10) than immobility-associated variables (NNH 12-17). The finding that perfusion-related variables predicted HAPIs may warrant consideration of alternative diagnoses, such as skin failure due to impaired perfusion as a pathophysiological process that occurs concurrently with multisystem organ failure. Differentiation of skin injuries primarily from circulatory malfunction, rather than external pressure, may guide the development of more effective treatment and prevention protocols. This pilot study suggests that the contribution of perfusion to skin injuries should be explored further.

皮肤损伤:与灌注和压力相关变量的联系。
皮肤损伤是一个主要的医疗保健问题,但人们对重症患者的皮肤损伤并不十分了解,也不能很好地预防皮肤损伤,这表明造成皮肤损伤的因素中存在一些未被充分重视的变量。这项试验性研究检验了这样一个假设,即灌注相关因素会导致皮肤损伤被诊断为医院获得性压力损伤(HAPIs)。共对 533 名成年患者进行了为期 2574 天的重症监护随访(平均年龄 62.4 岁,标准差 (SD) 14.3 岁,平均体重指数 30.4 (SD 7.4) kg/m2,36.4% 为女性)。这是对一家大型城市教学医院重症监护室的前瞻性、非随机临床数据进行的二次分析。分析了与灌注相关的因素,特别是两次或两次以上输注血管加压素/肌注、临时机械循环支持(MCS)、体外膜氧合和持久机械循环支持,以确定这些因素是否比因机械通气时间过长(>72小时)或手术室时间过长(>6小时)而导致的不活动与HAPIs有更密切的关系。被诊断为 HAPI 的患者暴露于与灌注和不活动相关的变量的风险具有显著的统计学意义(P
