Swimmer's pose may save skin: new study on ICU bedsores
NCT ID NCT05894291
First seen Jun 12, 2026 · Last updated Jun 12, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 334 ICU patients with severe lung failure (ARDS) who needed to lie on their stomachs to help them breathe. Researchers compared two ways of positioning their arms—either by their sides or in a 'swimmer's pose'—to see which caused fewer severe bedsores. The goal was to find a safer way to use this life-saving breathing treatment.
