Abstract
In Angola there is a lack of accessible data relatively to pressure injuries (PI) in Intensive Care Units, and also to risk factors. There is a multiplicity of risk factors of PI, such as prolonged length of stay, invasive mechanical ventilation, vasoactive drugs, immobility, inadequate nutrition, among others (Alderden, et al., 2017), and the cumulative incidence (IC 95%) worldwide varies between 10 and 25.9% (Chaboyer et al., 2018; EPUAP, NPIAP & PPIA, 2019).
