Thermal Imaging to Identify Distinct Temperature Patterns in Various Stages of Pressure Ulcers

Withdrawn before enrolling

Conditions studied: Decubitus Ulcer, Pressure Ulcer

In brief

40 patients total with pressure ulcers with a decubitus pressure ulcer will be included in this study. Ten patients with a Stage I, II, III, and IV decubitus pressure ulcer will be included to be analyzed with a thermal imaging camera. Thermal imaging of the various stages of pressure ulcer will be analyzed to determine if a recognizable pattern of thermal distribution can be identified which can then be applied to identify patients at risk of developing pressure ulcers at an earlier stage in their hospital course.
