Preventing pressure injuries in intensive care
Treatments studied
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This study tests a special care plan to prevent bedsores (pressure injuries) in intensive care patients and looks at whether it helps reduce both how often they happen and the costs. It may help if you or a loved one is admitted to the ICU for at least 24 hours and does not already have a bedsore.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You are staying in the intensive care unit (ICU) for at least 24 hours
- You do not have any existing bedsores (pressure injuries) on your body
- You are at some risk for bedsores, as measured by a standard risk checklist (Braden scale)

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 if a web-based training program for nurses can help prevent bed sores (pressure injuries) in intensive care patients. It looks at both how nurses learn and how patients' skin health improves.
This study tests an AI-guided nursing care plan to help prevent pressure injuries in ICU patients with medical devices like breathing tubes or catheters. It may be a good fit if you are in the ICU and want to help improve care.
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 whether an artificial intelligence (AI) tool can help prevent pressure injuries (bedsores) in patients staying in an intensive care unit. The AI may help nurses provide better care to reduce these injuries.
This trial uses an ultrasound score to see if it can predict which ICU patients will get bedsores (pressure injuries). It has two parts: first, they develop and test the score; second, they check if telling nurses the score helps prevent bedsores.
