Not Applicable
Withdrawn
Conditions
Pressure Ulcer
Interventions
Device: AIRSOFT DUO for 1 day
Device: SENTRY 1200 for 1 day
Device: SENTRY 1200 for 1 month
Device: AIRSOFT DUO for 1 month
Registration Number
NCT02735135
Lead Sponsor
Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nīmes
Brief Summary

The main objective of this study is to compare the AIRSOFT DUO and the SENTRY 1200 constant pressure mattresses in terms of peak skin pressures measured at the sacral area.

Detailed Description

The secondary objectives of the study are to compare the two devices in terms of:

A. body contact surface area. B. peak pressure at the heel area (combining right and left heels) C. occurrence of pressure ulcers anywhere on the body for 1 month D. patient comfort rated at 1 month (visual analog scale varying from 0-10) E. noise (Likert Scale). F. sleep quality (visual analog scale varying from 0-10).
