Study type | Interventional |
This study evaluates the effect of a multilayer skin dressing (Mepilex) placed on the sacrum or a fluid filled pad (LiquiCell) on risk factors for pressure injuries under conditions consistent with military long-distance transport or prolonged field care. Participants will be assigned to one of six groups - air transport, air transport on a spinal immobilization surface with or without Mepilex or on a field stretcher with or without LiquiCell.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Change in Interleukin-1/Total Protein (Skin) | Skin cytokine (IL-1) and total protein will be obtained using a small strip of specialized tape placed on the sacrum/buttocks. After 1-minute application the tape is removed and analyzed for quantity of interleukin-1 (indicator of skin irritation) | Baseline through study completion - approximately 120 minutes | |
Primary | Change in Transcutaneous Tissue Oxygen (TcPO2) | Tissue oxygen is measured continuously on the sacrum using a noninvasive sensor and on the midsternum (midchest) as a control | Measured continuously during the baseline (sidelying), supine (120 minutes) and post-sidelying (15 minutes) periods | |
Primary | Change in Skin Moisture (Epidermal and Subepidermal) | Two components of skin moisture will be measured on the sacrum using the Delfin MoistureMeter. The epidermal moisture, which reflects perspiration and subepidermal moisture , which reflects water content of the tissues. The values range from 1-80, with higher numbers reflecting increased moisture. | Baseline (before lying down) and after 120 minutes supine | |
Primary | Change in Skin Temperature | Skin temperature will be measured continuously on the sacrum using a laser doppler probe. | Measured continuously during the baseline (sidelying), supine (120 minutes) and post-sidelying (15 minutes) periods | |
Primary | Change in Skin Interface Pressure | The pressure between the support surface and the skin will be measured continuously during the supine position using the X Sensor system. This system measures force/unit area (e.g., pressure). The peak and average pressure on the sacrum/buttocks will be measured. | Continuously during the supine phase of the study (120 minutes) | |
Secondary | Change in Pressure-Discomfort (Category Partitioning Scale-50) | This scale asks the participant to describe in verbal terms the pressure intensity or discomfort associated with the stimulus (i.e., sacral/buttocks pressure or discomfort). The participant can then fine tune their assessment using a numeric score. The final score is an analog. The score ranges from 0-52, with higher scores indicating higher pressure or more severe discomfort. The investigator will ask the participant to limit their evaluation to the pressure/discomfort sensed on the sacrum/buttocks, but the investigator will also ask the participants to identify on their body where they are experiencing the most pressure/discomfort. | The score will be obtained at baseline and every 30 minutes in the supine position (total 5 measurements). |
