Clinical Trial: This Study Will Use Real-time Pressure Mapping Technology to Determine Which Positioning Strategies and Devices Exert the Least Amount of Pressure on Peri-operative Burn Patients

U.S., Sept. 13 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07171138) titled 'This Study Will Use Real-time Pressure Mapping Technology to Determine Which Positioning Strategies and Devices Exert the Least Amount of Pressure on Peri-operative Burn Patients' on Aug. 26.

Brief Summary: Burn patients are especially vulnerable to developing hospital-acquired pressure sores. The goal of this study is to determine which positions and positioning devices exert the least amount of pressure on problem areas such as the heels, the tailbone, the elbow and the back of the head.

With the use of a pressure mapping device, it will allow the investigators to:

1. Identify patients at the highest risk of developing pressure...
