Pressure Ulcer Guidelines

Pressure ulcer guidelines focus on preventing and treating skin injuries caused by prolonged pressure, especially in people with limited mobility. Key steps include regularly changing positions to reduce pressure, keeping the skin clean and dry, and using special mattresses or cushions. It’s important to check the skin frequently for signs of redness or damage. Proper nutrition and hydration support skin health. Early detection and intervention are crucial to prevent minor skin changes from developing into serious ulcers. These guidelines aim to promote skin integrity, reduce pain, and improve recovery outcomes through attentive care and monitoring.
