Active clinical trials for "Crush Injuries"

Patients who have at least one stage 3 or 4 PI and are admitted to a participating treating facility will be candidates for study enrollment. Patients must provide written informed consent. Standard care for their admitted condition will be provided for the patients except for support surface selection, laboratory blood tests, PI measurement(s) by the 3-D camera measurement tool, and added pain and patient satisfaction assessments. Clinical assessments will be recorded weekly as described below. Patients will be followed until discharge from the LTACH or until 1) they require a different mattress for their admitted condition; or 2) reach a maximum of 12 weeks in the LTACH. At study discontinuation, a clinical general assessment of the quality of improvement of the PIs will be recorded.

This randomised study will assess whether Parafricta bootees, when used in addition to normal standard care, can reduce the incidence of heel PUs in patients at very high risk of skin breakdown. The participant group will be hospital inpatients at high risk of PUs (Waterlow score of 20 or more) who are bedbound and do not have existing heel PUs. The participants will be randomised to an intervention arm using Parafricta plus standard care, or a control arm of standard care only. The primary outcome is incidence of heel PUs at day 3. Secondary outcomes are incidence of PUs at day 14, length of stay, severity of PUs, patient acceptability of device, cost-effectiveness.

In the previous investigation, investigators found that when the risk factors of stress injury in critical patients changed, clinical nurses lacked the awareness of evaluating the risk of stress injury, and lacked the risk assessment of this link. The stress risk prediction model is based on etiology. By analyzing the risk factors, the machine learning algorithm is used to evaluate the risk of pressure damage, and the prediction model of pressure damage can dynamically and comprehensively evaluate its risk. It is also a risk assessment tool. At present, there is no research on applying the stress injury risk prediction model of critical patients to the intensive care information software in China. In this study, the artificial intelligence algorithm library will be used to construct and apply the stress injury risk prediction model for critical patients.

The primary goal of this study is to explore whether applying the Mepilex foam on the nasal bridge directly between the skin and the N95 mask will prevent nasal bridge pressure injury among nursing staff, secondary to long-term ( >8+ hours) wear time. The secondary goal is to evaluate if using the Mepilex maintains the seal of the mask.

Wound infection and bleeding is a risk factor for pressure injury. Calcium alginate silver dressing (CASD) has been shown to be beneficial in a variety of wounds. However, evidence of its benefit in pressure injury(PI) patients in long-term care institutions, especially with respect to Taiwan population, is sparse. This study was to evaluate the effect of CASD and conventional wound dressings on the PI patients in long-term care institutions.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the single-dose pharmacokinetics and relative bioavailability of Darunavir (DRV) 800 milligram (mg), Cobicistat (COBI) 150 mg, Emtricitabine (FTC) 200 mg, and tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) 10 mg when administered as a fixed-dose combination (FDC) (D/C/F/TAF) tablet in healthy adult participants when given as Treatment A (reference): a single dose of D/C/F/TAF (800/150/200/10 mg) FDC tablet swallowed as a whole, intact tablet with 240milliliter (mL) of noncarbonated water.Treatment B (test): a single dose of D/C/F/TAF (800/150/200/10 mg) FDC tablet as a split tablet swallowed with 240 mL of noncarbonated water. Treatment C (test): a single dose of D/C/F/TAF (800/150/200/10 mg) FDC tablet as a crushed tablet mixed in 4 ounces (oz) of applesauce.

The goal of the project is to study whether multidisciplinary follow- up performed via telemedicine to the patient in his or her own home, will improve the healthcare services offered to a particular group of patients. The hypotheses are that this could increase the treatment options, increase knowledge translation, give significant socioeconomic benefits, and allow greater accessibility to specialized healthcare services, as well as increase the involvement of patients and those working in primary healthcare.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate incidence of complete epithelialization in stage 3 & 4 pressure ulcers using ACell products.

A prospective randomized within-subject controlled study to compare the clinical performance of conventional autografting with and without the RECELL system on acute non-burn full-thickness skin defects.

The purpose of this study is to determine if use of the Medela Invia Motion NPWT system supports acceptable progress towards the goal of therapy when treating patients with a variety of wound types during the evaluation period.
