Abstract

Purpose: This study was conducted to assess the incidence and characteristics of pressure ulcer in relation to the type of equipment and supplies(EnS) in intensive care unit(ICU). Method: By using secondary data analysis and descriptive investigation, 29 patients of pressure ulcers caused by EnS were examined from January 2013 to December 2015, at the advanced general hospital located in Gyeongsangnam-do. The subjects were aged 19 years and above and had been in the ICU for more than 3 days. The data were analyzed using the SPSS WIN 23.0 with frequency, percentage, and mean and standard deviation. Result: The incidence of EnS-related pressure ulcers was 3.71%. The EnS-related causes for pressure ulcers were endotracheal tube(31.03%), restraint(20.69%), and neck brace(10.34%). The longest use of EnS was oxygen tube(29 days). EnS that were possibly causing pressure ulcer for one day were restraint(upper extremities), endotracheal tube(oral and face), and oxygen mask(ear and nose). Conclusion: This study has been limited to secondary data analysis that may result in missing records of pressure ulcers related to EnS in ICU. However, the analysis of this research is expected to contribute to the development of nursing interventions to clarify the guidelines for the prevention of pressure ulcers related to EnS in ICUs.
