Experimental
Active Comparator
High frequency postural change
Conventional care
Repositioning or rotation of patients hospitalized in bed in intensive care units will be carried out with a frequency interval that we call "high-frequency". It has to be performed on each patient between an interval less than or equal to every 2 hours in a full day (24 hours) (minimum goal of 8-10 in 24 hours subtracting 2 or 4 at night and not alter the circadian cycle). The position must be modified in each postural change to the right lateral, supine, left lateral, supine, or prone position to supine position. The repositioning will be provided until a patient is discharged from ICU, die or begin ambulation. When providing each repositioning, avoid dragging the patient, the shear, and the friction to increase UPP risk. This must be applied to avoiding massage. Patients in any position should use pressure-reducing items such as pillows.
Repositioning or rotation of patients hospitalized will be the conventional or usual care. Units in this group are not going to receive any intervention. Will be only observed in their current intervention of repositioning.
