Key result
Hemodynamic alterations, including lower diastolic blood pressure on the first day (p=0.04) and higher central venous pressure on the second day (p=0.01), were significantly associated with the development of pressure ulcers in patients after open heart surgery.

In patients undergoing open heart surgery, hemodynamic instability including reduced diastolic blood pressure, increased central venous pressure, and increased heart rate are associated with a higher risk of developing pressure ulcers.
Mojtaba Senmar (2017) conducted a cross-sectional in Patients undergoing open heart surgery (n=82). Hemodynamic status (diastolic blood pressure, central venous pressure, heart rate) vs. Normal hemodynamic status was evaluated on Incidence of pressure ulcers (p=0.04). Hemodynamic alterations, including lower diastolic blood pressure on the first day (p=0.04) and higher central venous pressure on the second day (p=0.01), were significantly associated with the development of pressure ulcers in patients after open heart surgery.
