Abstract

Purpose: Neurosurgical interventions are long and complex, and additional difficulties are encountered in positioning in the operating room.The aim of the study is to determine the risk of pressure injury development in the intraoperative period of patients undergoing elective cranial surgery.
Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with 127 patients who met the inclusion criteria and underwent elective cranial surgery in a city hospital between September and October 2021. 3S Operating Room Pressure Injury Risk Diagnostic Scale were used to collect data.
Results: It was determined that 55.1% of the patients were female, their mean age was 53.22±13.47 years, and 61.4% had at least one chronic disease. It was determined that 71.7% of the patients were operated with the diagnosis of cerebellar tumor. Stage 1 pressure ulcers were observed in 37% of the patients. It was determined that the total score obtained from the scale was 14.87±2.83 and the patients were at low risk for pressure injury. Age, body mass index and duration of the surgical procedure were found to be independent factors affecting the patients' operating room pressure ulcer risk assessment scale score.
Conclusion:It was determined that the risk of pressure injury in patients who underwent cranial surgery was low level.
