NCT06465225 | RECRUITING | Pressure Ulcer

Prevention of Pressure Ulcers in Patients at Medium to High Risk of Pressure Ulcers Using the R'GO SOINS Overlay Mattress
Sponsor:

Nausicaa Medical

Brief Summary:

The aim of the study is to determine the clinical value of using a powered alternating pressure air overlay mattress (P-APAM) in the prevention of pressure injury (PI) in patients at medium to high risk. This study is noncomparative, observational study. Patients older than 18 years of age, with a medium to high risk of PI, without PI, up during the day, and lying between 15 and 20 hours per day on a specific P-APAM will be included. The study will be conducted in nursing homes, and in long-stay geriatrics department. Patients will be followed up for 35 days. The use of the P-APAM is associated with the usual PI prevention measures. The primary outcome is the percentage of patients who will develop at least one PI of at least stage 2 on the sacrum, spine, or heel between day 0 and day 35 . Secondary endpoints are patient assessments of comfort, caregiver satisfaction, mattress noise level, and mattress safety.

Criteria
Inclusion Criteria

  • * Patient without pressure injury on the day of inclusion
  • * Patient up during the day and lying down for more than 15 hours and less than 20 hours per day on an R'GO SOINS overlay mattress for less than 48 hours or since the day of inclusion
  • * Patient with a weight \< 150kg
  • * Patient (or a trusted third party/legal representative) having been informed of the study and signing informed consent
Exclusion Criteria

  • * Patient with acute multiple trauma
  • * Patient with unstable posttraumatic bone fracture
  • * Participants will be excluded from the study if they meet the following combination of criteria indicative of malnutrition according to the 2021 French National Authority for Health guidelines (Participants must meet at least one phenotypic criterion and one etiological criterion to be considered malnourished and therefore ineligible for inclusion in the study)
    • A) One or more of the following phenotypic criteria

      • B) One of the following etiological criteria
        • Inadequate nutritional intake
          • Nutritional intake less than 50% of the energy requirements for more than one week Reduced food intake for more than two weeks Presence of Disease or Stress Metabolism Acute or chronic illness, or any condition causing metabolic stress that increases energy requirements
