“…In Brazil, the incidence found in ICUs ranges from 10.0 (11) to 62.5% ( 12) . In a study conducted in four distinct ICUs (two neurological units, one cardiac unit and one general unit) of two private hospitals in the city of São Paulo, the authors obtained a practically identical result (11.1%) (20) to the results from this study.…”

“…In Brazil, the incidence of PU in critical patients has been explored in few units, especially in the state of São Paulo. National studies show a great variation either in PU incidence coefficients found in critical patients (10.0% to 62.5%) (11)(12) or in the evaluation periods (1 to 15 months) (11,12) . International studies show PU incidence in ICU between 3.2% and 39.0% (13)(14)(15)(16)(17) .…”

“…National and international studies conducted with ICU patients have identified significant (18) and nonsignificant differences (21) between special mattresses, change in position and development of UPs. Correlation has been observed between the type of mattress and the change in decubitus position when related to the subscales of mobility and sensory perception, since pressure reduction mattresses and several changes in decubitus position were used when there was an increased risk of the patient developing PUs according to the BS (17) .…”

“…Therefore, it can lead to reduce incidence, improve the quality of nursing care and therefore greater safety for patients, especially those admitted to intensive care units. (3)(4)(5)(6) One of the most used scales to help identify the risk of developing PU is the Braden Scale. The total score ranges from 6 to 23, the scores 19-23 indicate patients without risk, 15-18 mild risk, 13-14 moderate risk, 10 to 12 high risk and score ≤ nine indicates very high risk patients.…”
