About this study

This is a systematic random sampling study of the effects of the Dabir Micropressure Overlay on perioperative pressure injuries during cardiac surgery.

Read the detailed description

This is a simple pragmatic systematic quality improvement study aimed at real-world evaluation of a device claimed to reduce pressure ulcers in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Data acquisition will be based on systematic sampling of cardiac surgery operations based on odd and even calendar dates. On odd dates the Dabir micropressure overlay will be functional on the operating room tables. On even dates the Dabir micropressure overlay will not be functional on the operating room tables. Data on baseline characteristics, operative parameters, and primary and secondary endpoints will be gathered from STS and wound care sources, which are routinely collected for all patients. There will be no additional patient information and data collected specifically for this study.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Dabir Micropressure OverlayDevice

    The study intervention is the use of the Dabir micropressure overlay on the operating room table during surgical operations. The device is positioned on top of a standard foam pad and gel heat exchanger. The overlay is already in use in some (but not all) adult cardiac operating rooms.

    The overlay will be present on the operating room table for all adult cardiac operations. On odd calendar dates the device will be powered on, and on even calendar dates the device will be powered off.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of patient developing new perioperative pressure ulcers

    New pressure ulcers, any stage

    Measured: 5 days from operation

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Pressure ulcer stage

    Pressure ulcer stage, according to NPUAP staging system

    Measured: 5 day from operation

  2. Number of wound care consultations

    How often patients require consultation by the specialized wound care team for assessment and treatment of skin issues

    Measured: From date of surgery until 30 days or the date of hospital discharge or the date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pressure Ulcer and Pressure Injury, run by The Cleveland Clinic at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Nov 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of patient developing new perioperative pressure ulcers (time frame: 5 days from operation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Nov 2023.
