Brief summary
In this study, researchers developed a mattress made of 3D spacer fabric to relieve pressure during cardiovascular surgery. Following the development process, an initial assessment of the mattress's effectiveness was carried out on healthy volunteers. The same people lay first on the developed product and then on the surgical mattress in the supine position. In both cases, the pressure between the person and the mattress was measured using a force-sensitive resistor (using Interlink's FRS-406 series sensors). Thirty patients were included in the initial evaluation. A randomised controlled trial was then carried out with patients undergoing surgery (patients were divided into two groups; (a) mattress developed by the researchers and (b) standard operating theatre mattress). Sixty patients were divided into two groups using block randomisation. In the block randomisation, patients below or above body mass index 27 were equally distributed between the groups. Pressure levels were measured continuously during surgery using the same sensors.
Detailed description
In this study, the researchers developed a mattress made of 3D spacer fabric for pressure relief during cardiovascular surgery. Following the development process, an initial assessment of the mattress's effectiveness was carried out on healthy volunteers. The same people lay first on the developed product and then on the surgical mattress in the supine position. In both cases, the pressure between the person and the mattress was measured using a force-sensitive resistor (using Interlink's FRS-406 series sensors). 30 patients were included in the initial evaluation. A randomised controlled trial was then carried out with patients who underwent surgery (patients were divided into two groups; (a) mattress developed by the researchers and (b) operating theatre mattress in common use). 60 patients were divided into two groups using block randomisation. In the block randomisation, patients below or above body mass index 27 were evenly distributed between the groups. Pressure levels were continuously measured during surgery using the same sensors. Data were analysed using IBM SPSS software v26.
Interventions
COMBINATION_PRODUCT3D spacer Fabric Based Mattress
For the patients in the intervention group, the 3D spacer fabric-based mattress was used instead of the operating room theater mattress. The pressure level of the patients was monitored throughout the surgery.

Intervention model description
There were two groups in the trial. The first group was the group in which the patients used the mattress developed by the researcher. This was the intervention group. In the second group, the patients used the standard operating theatre mattress. This was the control group
