Preventing bed sores with a care program
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a care program called the IDEAL SKIIN CARES bundle, which aims to prevent pressure injuries (bed sores) in hospital patients. It may help you avoid developing painful skin wounds during your stay.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must have been in the hospital for at least 48 hours.
- You must not have any existing skin problems or injuries that make it hard to check your skin.
- You must not have a current pressure injury (bed sore) or vascular ulcer when you enter the hospital.
- You must be able to move on your own or with some help – you cannot need physical or mechanical help to reposition.

This study is testing a new nursing care plan to prevent pressure injuries (bedsores) in the ICU and see if it lowers how often they happen and what they cost. If you are in the ICU and don't have any bedsores yet, this might help you avoid getting one.
This trial tests if a gel made from aloe vera and peppermint can prevent bedsores (pressure injuries) in intensive care patients who are sedated or on a ventilator. If effective, it could offer a simple way to protect the skin while in the ICU.
This study tests a web-based training program for nurses to help prevent pressure injuries (bed sores) in intensive care patients. It looks at how the training affects both nurses' knowledge and patient outcomes.
This study tests a new care plan that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to help nurses prevent bed sores caused by medical devices in the ICU. If you're in intensive care and have a medical device, this approach might reduce your risk of developing these painful sores.
This trial looks at how blood pressure affects the development of bedsores in patients who are in the intensive care unit and unable to move. You may be able to join if you're between 18 and 70 years old, can't leave your bed, and do not already have bedsores.
This study uses a special ultrasound test to measure the health of the skin and tissue over the tailbone in ICU patients, to predict who might get a pressure injury (bed sore). If the test works well, it could help doctors take early steps to prevent bed sores in high-risk patients.
