Trial summary

Background:Pressure injuries (PI) are one of the common comorbidities in surgery, meaning PI that occurs immediately after surgery or within hours to 3 days after surgery. The incidence of PI in spine surgery is about 5% ~ 66%. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Effectiveness of Positioning Device Cotton Roll-coated Viscoelastic Polymer Pads Versus Viscoelastic Polymer Pads for Preventing Pressure Injuries in Patients Undergoing Lumbar Spine Surgery

Background:Pressure injuries (PI) are one of the common comorbidities in surgery, meaning PI that occurs immediately after surgery or within hours to 3 days after surgery. The incidence of PI in spine surgery is about 5% ~ 66%.

Purpose:Comparison of the difference in pressure injury rates positioning device cotton roll-coated viscoelastic polymer pads versus viscoelastic polymer pads for pressure injuries undergoing lumbar spine surgery Methods:This experimental study used a split-body design with random assignment to compare the pressure-reducing effects of different materials on a patient's body contact points with a positioning device. The experimental group used a Relton-Hall prone frame with cotton roll-coated 3 cm viscoelastic polymer pads, while the control group used a Relton-Hall prone frame with a viscoelastic polymer pads.

Read the detailed description

The study focuses on patients undergoing lumbar surgery in a hospital in a certain area of northern Taiwan, with an intended recruitment of 50 participants randomized into experimental and control groups. The study will use the Pressure Injury grading system developed by the National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel to assess the severity of pressure injuries at pre-operation, immediate post-operation, 30 minutes post-operation, 24 hours post-operation, and 48 hours post-operation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparing two kinds of decompression materials, the incidence of Pressure Injury in lumbar patients after surgery

    The four parts of the patient's body in contact with the positioning device (left chest, left iliac crest and right chest, right iliac crest) were randomly divided into an experimental group or a control group, and the decompression effect of different materials on positioning the device on the patient's body was compared; the experiment The group used the positioning device Relton-Hall prone frame cotton roll to cover the 3 cm fat pad, and the control group used the Relton-Hall prone frame fat pad.

    The severity of PI in the experimental and control groups was assessed and measured according to the pressure injury grading developed by the National Pressure Injury Advisory Committee. After surgery, return the patient from the prone position to the supine position. Immediately after the operation, 24 hours and 48 hours after the operation, observe the occurrence of pressure injury in the experimental group and the control group.

    Measured: immediate post-operation, 30 minutes post-operation, 24 hours post-operation, and 48 hours post-operation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing cotton roll-coated viscoelastic polymer pads and viscoelastic polymer pads in people with Pressure Injury, run by Central Taiwan University of Science and Technology at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 5 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 23 Jul 2024. 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 Taiwan. 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?

Comparing two kinds of decompression materials, the incidence of Pressure Injury in lumbar patients after surgery (time frame: immediate post-operation, 30 minutes post-operation, 24 hours post-operation, and 48 hours post-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 23 Jul 2024.
