Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Participants will lay on the following surfaces in the following scenarios
1. Ambulance scoop: supine (lying flat on their back)
2. A\&E trolley: supine
3. Hospital bed: supine
4. Theatre table: supine
5. Theatre table: Left lateral (lying on their left side at 90 degrees to the operating table) with pelvic binders (pads designed to keep the hip immobile).
Each participant will remain in each position on that particular surface for a period of 25 minutes. A pressure mapping mattress will lie between the participant and the surface assessed to generate a pressure map.
Following completion of data collection, data will be analysed and any areas of potential pressure damage vulnerability will be identified.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Healthy volunteer participants
The investigators propose a snap shot study in a group of healthy volunteers of varying BMIs, laying on surfaces a patient would be exposed to during their hospital stay. Participants will lie on a variety of surfaces they may find themselves on during an emergency admission to hospital, including an operating table, in a variety of positions. Participants pressure distributions in each scenario will be measured with a pressure sensing mattress.
No interventions assigned to this group
Eligibility Criteria
