| Popis: | To determine whether treatment with moderate-high dose norepinephrine is a contributory cause increasing the risk of pressure ulcer development in critical postoperative, mechanically ventilated, hyperglycemic patients. A pilot clinical cohort study was conducted in a PACU in a tertiary hospital. A convenience sample of 16 hyperglycemic patients undergoing mechanical ventilation with at least 24 hours' stay in the PACU were divided into two groups of eight according to dosage of norepinephrine infusion at any moment during the days monitored. One group received ≥ 2.5 mg/hour, and the other received |
