The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between arterial blood gas (ABG) parameters and oxygen saturation (SpO₂) levels and the risk of pressure injury development in patients hospitalized in intensive care units, and to provide a scientific contribution to the processes for assessing pressure injury risk based on the findings obtained.

Inclusion Criteria:
* Patients who have been hospitalized in the intensive care unit for at least 72 hours,
* Patients aged 18 years and older,
* Patients who are conscious or sedated and from whom an arterial blood gas sample can be obtained,
* Patients or their relatives who agree to participate in the study.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patients with superficial skin lesions or existing pressure injuries, or a history of pressure injuries,
* Patients whose intensive care unit stay is shorter than 72 hours,
* Patients diagnosed with diabetes,
* Patients with circulatory problems.
Primary outcome measure(s)
Risk of Pressure Injury Development — From intensive care unit admission until discharge from the intensive care unit or study completion, up to 12 months. The risk of pressure injury development in intensive care unit patients will be assessed in relation to arterial blood gas parameters and oxygen saturation levels.
