Detailed Description

The device that is the subject of this investigation is a diagnostic tool to detect the among of fluid in hypodermis to help to prevent the formation of pressure injuries. The Sub Epidermal Moister(SEM) Scanner, is a non invasive portable medical device use to complet the clinical jugement of clinician.

The study "RELIASEM" will study hospitalized patients with high risk of Pressure Injurieswith the next conditions:

For each patient 14 mesures: 6 on the sacrum, 4 on the right heel and 4 on the left heel. This set of measure will be realized 2 timesby 4 different evaluator. To will have been trained in the use of the SEM Scanner where as the other will be novice.

The main objective of this study is to determine on a risk population the intra- and inter-examiner reliability of the SEM Scanner

Sample for reliabilitySEM ScannerReliability and validity of SEM Scanner : intra rater, inter rater and inter novice/trained 8(2 trained rater, 2 novice rater, each one performed twice)measured will be performed on each patient.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Evaluation of the validity of the SEM Scanner on at risk populationDuring the evaluation 1 day assessed

The Norton scale will be used by the study :Norton ≥ 18 low or without risk, 14\< Norton \<18 medium risk, 12≤ Norton ≤14 high risk, Norton \< 12 very high risk

Evaluation of the reliability of the SEM Scanner on a population in a rehabilitation center (experienced vs experienced)immediately after the intervention

We will calculate the intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) intra- and inter-evaluator (experienced vs experienced)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
valuation of the reliability of the SEM Scanner on a population at risk (experienced vs novice/ novice vs novice) will be calculatedimmediately after the intervention

The intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) intra- and inter- evaluator (experienced vs novice/novice vs novice) will be calculated

Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC)curve: Area under the Curve (AUC)immediately after the intervention

AUC of the SEM Scanner for every cut of scores of the Norton score
