- Abstract : Background: Pressure injuries (PIs) after surgery affect thousands of people worldwide. Their management is expensive, a cost that can be reduced with proper preventive measures. Patients having surgery under general anaesthesia are at risk of developing PI, yet no specific tool has been developed to assess the risk in these patients. This review aimed to summarize the published data on perioperative risk factors associated with the development of PI in adults having surgery under general anaesthesia. Methods: All studies reporting on risk factors associated with the development of PI were included. Data were extracted from all articles and meta‐analysis was performed when three or more studies reported on a specific variable. Results: The analysis identified five factors significantly associated with the development of PIs: cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, diabetes mellitus, low haemoglobin level and longer duration of surgery. Factors not associated included serum albumin concentration, use of vasopressors during surgery, use of corticosteroids, sex and age. Conclusion: Cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, diabetes mellitus, anaemia and duration of surgery should be taken into consideration when trying to identify surgical patients at high risk of developing PIs. These factors could be used to predict PIs after surgery.

El tratamiento de las PI conlleva un coste elevado, que podría reducirse con medidas preventivas adecuadas. Aunque los pacientes a los que se realiza una cirugía bajo anestesia general tienen un mayor riesgo de desarrollar PI, no se han creado herramientas específicas para evaluar su riesgo. El objetivo de este trabajo es resumir los datos disponibles acerca de los factores de riesgo perioperatorios asociados al desarrollo de PI en pacientes adultos en los que se realiza un procedimiento quirúrgico bajo anestesia general. Un mejor conocimiento de los factores de riesgo de las PI podría permitir la estratificación de los pacientes antes de la cirugía y establecer mecanismos de prevención específicos. Número de registro Prospero CRD42019111877. Métodos: Se incluyeron todos los estudios que analizaron los factores de riesgo asociados a las PI. Se obtuvieron los datos de todos los artículos y se realizó un metaanálisis cuando tres o más estudios presentaban información de una determinada variable. Resultados: El análisis identificó cinco factores estadísticamente significativos asociados con el desarrollo de PI: enfermedad cardiovascular, enfermedad respiratoria, diabetes mellitus, mayor duración de la cirugía y hemoglobina baja. No se asociaron factores como la s‐albúmina, la utilización de vasopresores durante la cirugía, el uso de corticoides, el sexo o la edad. Conclusión: Se recomienda tener en cuenta la existencia de enfermedades cardiovasculares o respiratorias, diabetes mellitus, niveles bajos de hemoglobina y la duración de la cirugía a la hora de identificar a los pacientes quirúrgicos con riesgo elevado de desarrollar PI. … (more)
