Preventing pressure injuries in the ICU
Treatments studied
Part of Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You do not have any pressure injuries (bedsores) anywhere on your body.
- You are expected to stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) for at least 24 hours.

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 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.
This study looks at how blood oxygen levels and other measures relate to the risk of pressure injuries (bedsores) in people staying in the intensive care unit for at least 3 days. It may help find ways to prevent these injuries.
This study tests whether a color-coded system can help prevent pressure injuries (bedsores) in patients staying in the intensive care unit. It may benefit patients at risk of skin damage from lying in bed.
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.
