Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Burn patients are especially vulnerable to developing hospital-acquired pressure sores. The goal of this study is to determine which positions and positioning devices exert the least amount of pressure on problem areas such as the heels, the tailbone, the elbow and the back of the head.

With the use of a pressure mapping device, it will allow the investigators to:

1. Identify patients at the highest risk of developing pressure injuries related to positioning/devices.
2. Use the findings to create positioning/device guidelines

By optimizing positioning strategies, the investigators aim to enhance patient comfort, prevent complications, and ultimately improve the overall quality of care for burn patients.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Positioning and positioning devices

Intervention Type DEVICE

Different positioning strategies and positional devices. Measurement of skin interface pressure at key anatomical pressure points (occiput, elbows, sacrum, heels) under different patient positioning strategies and positional devices.

The positions that produce the least amount of pressure are identified and will be implemented and compared with pre-intervention hospital acquired pressure injuries (HAPI)
