Ultrasound test to predict bedsores in ICU patients
Part of Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be over 18 years old
- You must be a new patient in the ICU and expected to stay at least 4 days
- Your lower back skin (sacrum) must be healthy and free of wounds at the start
- You must be able to sign a consent form
- You cannot be pregnant or have scarring, burns, or tumors on your lower back

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.
This study is adapting a tool to predict pressure injuries (bedsores) for ICU patients in Turkey. It may help nurses prevent these injuries in the future.
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 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 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 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.
