99,876 ICU patients, long-term care, rehabilitation, long-term acute care hospitals and palliative care centers. |
Prevalence of 601 injuries. Nasal oxygen tubes, splints, non-invasive ventilation, positive pressure masks |
Medical-device-related pressure injuries occur in the face and head region, specifically the ears. Efforts should be ongoing for assessment and prevention in critically ill patients who require these devices. |

697 patients, four tertiary hospitals (three general and one cancer hospital). |
137 fixing stickers. |
The prevalence and the risk factors associated with medical-device-related pressure injuries caused by the skin patch used to fix the peripheral insertion central catheter provided epidemiology and identification of the high-risk population, as well as improved care and patient safety. |

United States |
VI. |
304 patients in three long-term acute care hospitals. |
142 breathing devices, splints, straps and tubes. |
Injuries caused by devices were discharged from long-term inpatients. |

II. |
152 patients, hospital emergency department. |
74 caused by non-invasive ventilation, nasal mask. |
The incidence of facial injury was significantly lower in the group receiving hyper oxygenated fatty acid solution when compared with direct mask, thin patch and foam patch. |

VI. |
179 patients, tertiary referral hospital with acute, subacute care and ICU. |
50, 34 of them in intensive care/with endotracheal tube, CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) and nasal parts, nasogastric probe, pulse oximeter |
The most common sites are in the ear due to the endotracheal tube in intensive care unit patients. Additional support, education and monitoring are required for nurses to prevent injury. |

IV. |
483 patients, six intensive care units in Australia and the United States. |
20 injuries were followed-up for seven days continuously. Endotracheal devices and nasogastric tube |
They were identified in overweight white men, low risk of organ failure and long stay in the intensive care unit. |

IV. |
2,131 patients who underwent surgery. |
102 nasogastric probes |
Secondary injuries due to the nasogastric probe in surgical patients, which can cause irreversible sequelae in the patient's nasal wing. |
| Ambutas et al.,20

United States |
III. |
205 patients in the operating room and hospitalization. |
5 injuries using a nasogastric probe-specific fixative and 19 lesions with a conventional fixative |
Comparison between the use of 2 nasogastric probe fixatives, in which the evaluation of the underlying skin and nursing intervention are fundamental for the recognition of a potential injury. |

United States |
IV. |
Two groups of 100 patients who used the nasal-oral mask or the face mask in five ICUs. |
20 pressure injuries in the nasal-oral mask group and two in the face mask group |
The facemask resulted in a smaller number of pressure injuries and was more comfortable for patients, being a good alternative for non-invasive ventilation. |

United States |
III. |
155 patients for tracheostomy protection protocol intervention and 183 pre-intervention patients for comparison. |
20 pre-intervention injuries and two post-intervention injuries. Tracheostomy |
The adoption of the preventive care package resulted in a significant reduction in the incidence of the pressure injury related to hospital tracheostomy |

United Kingdom |
VII |
One patient, clinical case report after extensive cardiac surgery. |
One injury due to tube fixation at the cervical posterior, stage 4 |
Injuries are reported in nursing journals, but rarely in medical journals, so multidisciplinary care is important for injury prevention and for reducing patient stay length. |

Netherlands |
IV. |
254 patients at the trauma center. |
88 cervical collars and immobilizers, urinary tubes, endotracheal tube and nasogastric probe |
16 different spots with medical-device-related pressure injuries found; in trauma patients, it is very high |
| Ham et al.,25
|
England |
V |
88 patients, trauma and surgical ICU. |
One injury, stage 4, in the occipital region, resulting from the use of cervical collar |
In this study, the incidence of pressure injury due to the cervical collar was low, but prevention for this device cannot be ruled out. Further research studies should be conducted to obtain data for future effective interventions |

Iceland |
III. |
130 patients in ICU. |
Five injuries in the study intervention period, 12 months |
With incorporation of multiple interventions, including health education, interdisciplinary follow-up and analysis of the main causes for subsequent intervention, are factors that reduce the incidence of medical-device-related pressure injury in the intensive care unit. |

III. |
250 patients, project intervention for 12 months for prevention of PI due to GNS. Midsize Hospital |
42 injuries before the intervention and 33 injuries after the project. |
Health education, development of a scientific evidence-based preventive intervention package, documentation and tracking of pressure injuries combination has resulted in reduced cases |
