Abstract

Background: Pressure injuries are a serious complication of multimorbidity and immobility. They are defined as a wound that develops in the upper layers of the skin as the result of sustained, externally applied pressure and then enlarges both radially and into the deeper tissue layers. Objective: It is prospective analysis of the possibilities of occurrence of deep venous thrombosis in pressure injures patients. Patients and methods: This study was conducted to analyze the possibilities of incidence of DVT in pressure injuries patients at AlAzhar University Hospitals; ElHussein and Sayed Galal Hospitals. This study was performed on 30 patients complaining of pressure injuries. The age of the patients ranged from 19 to 59 years and there were 20 males and 10 females. Results: The results of the study revealed that there was no incidence of deep venous thrombosis in 29 patients with pressure injuries during the follow up period. The incidence of DVT of this present research was not statistically significant with only one case of DVT with 0.03% (p = 0.08). Conclusion: From all the above-mentioned data, we might conclude that all patients with pressure injuries had less incidence of deep venous thrombosis. Therefore, we encourage further research and exploration in this promising field that may help in discovering a solution for deep venous thrombosis.
