Pressure Ulcers Management

Pressure ulcers, or bedsores, are injuries that occur when prolonged pressure cuts off blood flow to skin and tissues, usually over bony areas. Managing them involves relieving pressure through repositioning regularly, keeping the skin clean and dry, and using dressings or special cushions to promote healing. In some cases, minimizing friction and moisture is essential. Severe ulcers may require medical treatments like antibiotics or surgery. Overall, the goal is to prevent infection, support tissue repair, and promote comfort, emphasizing early detection and consistent care to avoid worsening or complications.
