Arterial Blood Gas Levels, Oxygen Saturation, and Pressure Injury Risk in ICU Patients

Enrolling by invitation

Conditions studied: Pressure Injury, Intensive Care Unit (ICU)

In brief

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between arterial blood gas (ABG) parameters and oxygen saturation (SpO₂) levels and the risk of pressure injury development in patients hospitalized in intensive care units, and to provide a scientific contribution to the processes for assessing pressure injury risk based on the findings obtained.
