Impact of head-of-bed elevation angle on the development of pressure ulcers and pneumonia in patients on mechanical ventilation: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract Background Mechanical ventilation is crucial for patient management in intensive care units, but it comes with complications such as pressure ulcers and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). The impact of head-of-bed elevation angles on these complications remains a critical area for inves...
