Turning air mattress for pressure injury prevention in the ICU
This study tests a special air mattress that automatically turns patients to help prevent bedsores. It aims to see if this mattress can reduce pressure injuries and save nursing time in the ICU.

This study tests a special bed positioning technique (lateralization therapy) to see if it lowers pressure on the body and helps prevent bedsores in people on breathing machines. If you are on a ventilator and not yet ready to breathe on your own, this trial may help improve your comfort and skin health.
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 study tests a new air mattress designed to help prevent pressure ulcers (bed sores). Healthy volunteers will lie on the mattress while researchers check how well it distributes pressure and feels.
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 tests a new way to prevent bedsores (pressure injuries) while patients lie on their stomachs for breathing support. It's for adults in the ICU with severe lung problems who are on a ventilator.
This trial is for ICU nurses who already perform skin checks for pressure injuries. It tests whether an AI tool can help them assess patients' skin more accurately and consistently. The study focuses on adult ICU patients without major skin problems.
