Summary
This study tests whether a gel made from aloe vera and peppermint can prevent pressure injuries (bedsores) in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Forty adults who are at risk for bedsores will be randomly assigned to receive either the natural gel or standard hospital care. The main goal is to see if the gel reduces the number of new bedsores that develop during their ICU stay.
