NCT ID NCT07470918
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether placing color-coded cards at the bedside of ICU patients can help nurses prevent pressure injuries (bedsores). The cards use red, yellow, and green to show high, medium, or low risk. Researchers will track 96 patients over 5 days to see if this simple visual tool reduces the number of new pressure injuries.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Color-coded risk classification cards (red/yellow/green) used at the bedside
What this could lead to
If it works, this simple color-coded system could help nurses spot pressure injury risk faster and prevent bedsores in ICU patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 96 participants. The approach is a communication tool, not a medical treatment, so its impact may be limited.
