Risk Factors for Pressure Injury in Mechanically Ventilated Patients in Emergency Intensive Care Units: A Prospective Observational Study

Early detection of high-risk patients is essential to reduce the incidence of pressure injuries in mechanically ventilated EICU patients. Critical care nurses should proactively evaluate patients upon admission-particularly those with poor nutritional status or elevated interface pressure-and promptly implement targeted interventions, such as pressure redistribution, individualised repositioning and nutritional support.
