Participant Flow

Recruitment period spanned 8.6 months (between 09/28/07 - 04/30/07 and 05/01/09 - 08/31/09) and was done in 2 ICUs of 2 tertiary hospitals. Recruitment efforts were intermittent due to staffing resources and reconfiguration and testing of automated turn bed angle sensor.

Not applicable. All enrolled patients assigned to group.
