Summary

Pressure ulcers (PU) cause pain and discomfort to affected patients, as well as considerable costs for society. The present study will evaluate the effect of the Continuous Bedside Pressure Mapping (CBPM)- system on PU prevalence and incidence. A RCT including 180 patients will be conducted in a geriatric setting in a Swedish University hospital

Conditions

  • Pressure Ulcer

Interventions

DEVICE

CBPM-system

The bed is equipped with a pressure sensing mat including thousands of sensors. It is connected with a monitor that continuously registers the pressure between the body and the bed surface (interface pressure). The pressure is indicated by colors, where warmer colors indicate higher pressure.
