Preventing skin rash in ICU patients with incontinence
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to prevent skin rash and keep the skin healthy in ICU patients who leak stool or urine. It focuses on people who are at high risk for this rash but don't have it yet.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are in the intensive care unit and have been leaking stool or urine for at least 2 days.
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are at high risk for a skin rash called incontinence-associated dermatitis (based on a special skin risk test).
- You must be able to lie on your side for care.
- You cannot already have a rash or skin breakdown in the diaper area.
- You cannot be using diapers, pull-ups, or incontinence pads (other special products are allowed).
