Pressure Ulcers and Wound Care
Pressure ulcers, also known as bedsores or pressure injuries, are localized damage to the skin and underlying soft tissue, typically occurring over bony prominences. They result from prolonged pressure on the skin, often combined with friction, shear, moisture, and immobility.

Pressure Ulcers and Wound Care
Effective wound care is essential for healing pressure ulcers and preventing complications. Treatment strategies vary depending on the stage of the ulcer and may include:
Debridement: Removal of nonviable tissue.
Wound cleansing: Cleaning the ulcer with appropriate solutions.
Dressings: Applying dressings that maintain a moist wound environment and protect the ulcer.
Offloading: Reducing pressure on the affected area.
Pain management: Providing pain relief.
Infection control: Preventing and treating infection.
Nutritional support: Optimizing nutritional status.
Surgery: In some cases, surgery may be necessary to close the wound or repair damaged tissue.
It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper assessment, treatment, and management of pressure ulcers.
