Summary

This study tests whether placing soft foam dressings on the skin before heart surgery can prevent pressure injuries (bedsores). About 80 adults having long heart surgeries will be enrolled. Researchers will check for new skin injuries after surgery and track how severe they are. The goal is to find a simple way to protect patients during their operation.
