Issue Date: | 2023-09-15 | Publisher: | Elsevier | Part of: | Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery | Volume: | 92 | Start page: | 207 | End page: | 211 | Abstract: | The sudden increase of intensive care unit patients during the coronavirus pandemic led to an increase in the incidence of sacral pressure lesions. Despite being ambulating patients, in many cases the lesions were deep (Grade III and IV), mainly due to the long-term intubation and being bedridden during the pandemic. Most of these wounds necessitated surgical repair. |
