Lesões por pressão em adultos portadores de germes multirresistentes: um estudo de coorte

Objective: To describe the outcome of pressure injuries in adults with multiresistant germs. Method: Cohort study, carried out with patients hospitalized in a public hospital in southern Brazil. The sample consisted of 110 injuries from stage 2, with data collection through the Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment Toai - BWAT, the Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing (PUSH) and the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC). Statistical analysis was descriptive and analytical. Results: The mean age was 45.4 ± 21.3 years and 63.8% had more than one lesion. There were 26.4% of stage 2, 31.9% in the sacral region, with a median of 14 cm2. There was a significant reduction in injuries from the 6th assessment, after 35 days of hospitalization, in the three instruments (p<0.001). Conclusion: This study showed good evolution in pressure injuries in patients with multiresistant germs, reinforcing the importance of structured nursing care through a care protocol.
