Incidence of pressure injury in patients with moderate and severe traumatic brain injury: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients with moderate and severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) may develop pressure injury (PI) due to haemodynamic instability caused by the disease, lack of mobility in bed, as well as intense and prolonged compression in prominent bone areas.

Objective

Method

Searches were conducted in the PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, Google Scholar, Trove and Open Grey databases, including all records found up to May 2023. Patients with moderate and severe TBI admitted to the ICU were included in this review.
