简要总结
Burn patients are especially vulnerable to developing hospital-acquired pressure sores. The goal of this study is to determine which positions and positioning devices exert the least amount of pressure on problem areas such as the heels, the tailbone, the elbow and the back of the head.
With the use of a pressure mapping device, it will allow the investigators to:
- Identify patients at the highest risk of developing pressure injuries related to positioning/devices.
- Use the findings to create positioning/device guidelines
By optimizing positioning strategies, the investigators aim to enhance patient comfort, prevent complications, and ultimately improve the overall quality of care for burn patients.

结局指标
主要结局
Measurement of pressure according to pressure mapping system/device (x-sensor)
时间窗: 1 year
Using a pressure mapping device, determine which positions and positioning devices create the most/least amount of pressure at known pressure points (occiput, elbows, sacrum, and heels).
次要结局
- Compare HAPI incidence post-implementation of optimal positioning(1 year)
