Summary

This trial tests whether a structured nursing care bundle can reduce pressure injuries caused by medical devices in critically ill patients. The bundle includes securing devices properly, frequent skin checks, repositioning, proper nutrition, and staff education. Researchers will compare this approach to routine care in 120 newly admitted ICU patients without existing skin damage. The goal is to see if this proactive care lowers the risk of device-related pressure ulcers.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
A structured skin care bundle for medical device management
What this could lead to
If effective, this care bundle could become a standard nursing practice to reduce painful pressure injuries in intensive care patients.
What could go wrong
This is a single-center trial with a modest sample size, and results may not apply to all ICUs. The intervention depends on consistent nursing adherence, which can vary.
