Apparatus and Method for Moving Patients (NCT04882865)
Apparatus and Method for Moving Patients: Users Impressions of the Use of a Novel Device to Assist With Patient Movement as Compared to Repositioning Sheets
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
A novel device and process to move patients has been developed, particularly useful for patients with severe respiratory failure (ie COVID 19) who require prone ventilation (moving from their back onto the stomach and then onto back for a 16 hour cycle, usually for several days). This study will assess staff impressions of the feasibility of the use of this device/ process to prone patients as well as their impressions of the use of this device, compared to repositioning sheets, for the general care of the ICU patient. An economic analysis of the use of the AMMP for proning compared to movement without assists will be done
