An interventional study of Prone Position in Pressure Ulcer, sponsored by Centre Hospitalier Régional d'Orléans. Completed at 1 site in France. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-01-17.

Prone positioning (PP) reduces mortality in the most severe cases of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Despite the benefits of PP, this technique presents adverse effects such as an increased risk of bedsores, linked to the duration, which must be around 16 consecutive hours.
There are 2 PP techniques:
Pressure transducers are available for instantaneous measurement of pressures between 2 interfaces. The investigators have acquired a pressure-measuring device, a mattress topper which is attached to the resuscitation mattress and which, connected to a PC, provides a live display of the pressures between the patient and the mattress.
The investigators would like to use their device to measure pressures during these 2 PP in healthy volunteers, which would enable them to obtain the world's first data on the real pressures generated during PP.
518 studies on the registry are indexed under Pressure Ulcer; 117 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 30 is below the median of 70 across 395 interventional studies indexed under Pressure Ulcer.

All healthy volunteers will be positioned in prone position, on a bed equipped with a mapping pressure system. The volunteers will spend 5 minutes in each of the positions corresponding to the study groups.
Skin/Bed pressures
Obtain pressure values for both prone position techniques on pressure sore risk zones (face/shoulders/hips/knees/feet)
