New ultrasound tool could predict bedsores before they form
NCT ID NCT07496411
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether an ultrasound-based risk score can better predict and prevent pressure injuries (bedsores) in critically ill ICU patients. In phase 1, researchers will check how accurately the score identifies high-risk patients. In phase 2, some patients will receive nursing care guided by the ultrasound score, while others get standard care. The goal is to see if the new approach reduces bedsores.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Ultrasound-based Quantitative Risk Score-guided Nursing Intervention
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a more accurate way to predict and prevent pressure injuries in critically ill patients, reducing suffering and healthcare costs.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study with only 390 participants. The ultrasound score may not prove more effective than current methods, and results may not apply to all ICU settings.
