Introduction
Prevention of pressure injuries (PIs) is a priority for health care systems worldwide. PI incidence and prevalence are widely accepted indicators of quality care. Prevention enhances patient safetyFrequent repositioning and use of support surfaces are generally accepted strategies for preventing PIs.Despite the use of these and other strategies, the overall burden of PIs in hospitalized patients is increasing, presumably related to population aging and increasing prevalence of multiple comorbidities.Continuous bedside pressure mapping (CBPM) is a technology that monitors interface pressure and bed mobility of patients in real time.A systematic review by Walia et alGiven the dearth of studies evaluating CBPM technology, we conducted a randomized clinical trial that assessed the efficacy of CBPM technology in reducing interface pressure and incident PIs in an acute care setting.
