Blood gases and pressure injury risk in ICU patients
Part of Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been in the intensive care unit (ICU) for at least 72 hours (3 days).
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are awake or lightly sedated, and an arterial blood sample can be taken.
- You (or your family member) agree to take part in the study.
- You do NOT have any existing pressure injuries (bedsores), skin sores, or a history of them.

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 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 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 study tests whether a gel made from aloe vera and peppermint can help prevent pressure injuries (bedsores) in patients staying in the intensive care unit. Pressure injuries are painful sores that form when skin stays in one position too long, and this gel might help protect vulnerable skin.
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.
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.
