Tissue Vascular Optics and Impedance Measurements for the Detection of Early Tissue Damage and Pressure Ulceration

NCT04113148 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 170

Last updated 2019-10-02

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Pressure ulcers are common, distressing and expensive. Currently scoring systems and checks by nursing staff are carried out to assess a patient's risk of developing a pressure ulcer.

The investigators would like to see whether non-invasive measurements can be taken from patients to predict who might be at risk of pressure ulcers to allow us to intervene and reduce the risk of it happening.

Physiological measurements from heel

Measurements of blood flow, tissue oxygen saturation, temperature, pressure
