Implication

This observational study finds a high rate of pressure ulcers in cardiovascular surgery patients, suggesting vital preventative measures are necessary.

Key Points

Fourteen percent of cardiovascular surgery patients developed a Stage I pressure ulcer within 24 hours post-operation.
The study analyzed 200 patients, with 65% being male and an average age of 63.61 years, indicating specific demographics at risk.
Utilizing the 3S Intraoperative Pressure Injury Risk Assessment Scale, the study measured ulcer risk in relation to body mass index (BMI).
Increased awareness and preventive strategies during the perioperative period are crucial for healthcare providers to reduce pressure ulcer incidence.
