Preventing pressure injuries during surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests a special care plan to prevent bedsores (pressure injuries) in people having planned surgeries that last more than 3 hours. If you're having orthopedic, general, neurosurgical, or urological surgery, this bundle might help keep your skin safe.

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 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 package designed to prevent pressure ulcers (bed sores) in surgical patients. If you are having orthopaedic surgery and are not already at high risk, this package may help protect your skin during recovery.
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 looks at how often patients develop pressure injuries (sores from lying in one position too long) during long brain surgeries. It tracks patients before, during, and after surgery to find ways to prevent these injuries.
