Interventions for Pressure Ulcers

Interventions for pressure ulcers aim to promote healing and prevent worsening. This includes regular repositioning to reduce pressure on affected areas, keeping the skin clean and dry, and using specialized cushions or mattresses to support body parts. Wound care involves cleaning and dressing the ulcer to prevent infection. Nutritional support is important, ensuring adequate protein and vitamins to aid healing. In some cases, advanced treatments like debridement (removing dead tissue) or surgery may be needed. Overall, these strategies work together to protect the skin, promote healing, and prevent new ulcers from forming.
