Summary

This study looks at whether blood oxygen levels and other blood gas measurements are linked to the risk of developing pressure injuries (bedsores) in intensive care patients. Researchers will monitor 122 adults who have been in the ICU for at least 72 hours, tracking their blood tests and skin condition. The goal is to find better ways to identify patients at risk, so prevention efforts can be targeted more effectively.
