Pressure Injuries in the Operating Room and Their Perioperative Incidence in Patients Undergoing Neurosurgery.

Recruiting now

Conditions studied: PRESSURE INJURIES

In brief

This research project is a descriptive, longitudinal prospective observational study in the HUMV neurosurgery operating rooms. The patients included will be adults 18 years old or older, who will be scheduled for surgery by the Neurosurgery service. Those who meet the selection criteria determined for this study will be chosen consecutively and will be followed from the immediate preoperative moment until 72 hours after the end of the surgery. Data collection shall be carried out by direct observation and immersion in clinical records of patients who have signed the informed consent. The study will be carried out in 4 phases: immediate preoperative, intraoperative, immediate postoperative and late postoperative, recording the data using various measuring instruments, and a record sheet. Finally, the cumulative incidence of LPPs developed in the perioperative environment will be calculated and a statistical analysis will be performed.
