About this study

Official title: Prevention of Pressure Ulcers in Patients at Medium to High Risk of Developing Pressure Ulcers and Using the DOMUS 4 / AUTO Motorized Air Mattress: Non-interventional Study

The aim of the study is to determine the clinical value of using a powered alternating pressure air mattress (P-APAM) in the prevention of pressure injury (PI) in patients at medium to high risk.

This study is noncomparative, observational study.

Read more

Patients older than 18 years of age, with a medium to high risk of PI, without PI, up during the day, and lying more than 15 hours a day on a specific P-APAM were included. The study was conducted in nursing homes, and in long-stay geriatrics department.

Patients are followed up for 35 days. The use of the P-APAM is associated with the usual PI prevention measures. The primary outcome is the percentage of patients who developed between day 0 and day 35 at least one PI of at least stage 2 on the sacrum, spine, or heel. Secondary endpoints are patient assessments of comfort, caregiver satisfaction, mattress noise level, and mattress safety.

What participants receive

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

  • Use of a powered alternating pressure air mattressDevice

    Patients with a medium to high risk of pressure injury, without pressure injury, up during the day, will ly a on a specific P-APAM (DOMUS 4 /AUTO)

What is being measured

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

  1. percentage of patients who developed at least one stage 2 pressure injury

    Percentage of patients who developed at least one stage 2 PI of the sacrum, backbone, or heel (areas of support when lying down)

    Measured: 35 days after installation on the mattress (at day 35)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Percentage of patients who developed a o pressure injury (any stage), other than those of the sacrum, backbone, or heel between

    Measured: 35 days after installation on the mattress (at day 35)

  2. Assessment by the patient (or family or staff in the case of incapacity) of the comfort of the mattress (general comfort, stability)

    On a scale from 0 (not satisfied at all) to 4 (very satisfied)

    Measured: 35 days after installation on the mattress (at day 35)

  3. Assessment by the nursing staff with the use of the mattress (implementation, cleaning maintenance turning, changing to a sitting position)

    On a scale from 0 (not satisfied at all) to 4 (very satisfied)

    Measured: 35 days after installation on the mattress (at day 35)

  4. Assessment of the degree of maceration

    On a scale from 1 (constantly moist) to 4 rarely moist

    Measured: 35 days after installation on the mattress (at day 35)

  5. Assessment of mattress safety

    by collecting any adverse event or mattress malfunction during the follow up

    Measured: At day 35

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pressure Injury, run by Wellell France at 5 sites in France.

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 6 inclusion and 10 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 26 Jul 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in France. 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?

percentage of patients who developed at least one stage 2 pressure injury (time frame: 35 days after installation on the mattress (at day 35)). 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 26 Jul 2022.
