Bed Sores/pressure Sores Prevention And Home Treatment Tactics- Mighty Honey by mightyideasrule(f): 12:45pm On Sep 24, 2019 |
Pressure Sores Prevention and Home Treatment Tactics What Causes a pressure sore? Decubitous ulcer, which in common terms is referred to as bed sores, pressure sores, or ulcers may simply be described as a lesion, break, or swelling in the skin that fails to heal and the damaged area then develops inflammation of the area surrounding it. Causes of pressure sores/bed sores include 1. Pressure on the skin and tissues the most common cause. 2. Sliding down in a bed or chair, which can cause the skin to fold over itself. 3. Being pulled across bed sheets or other surfaces, which cancause friction burns. 4. Excess moisture, such as from sweat, urine, or feces What increases the risk of getting pressure sores/bed sores? Things that make a person more likely to get pressure sores include: 1. Conditions that prevent moving easily such as spinal cord injury, paralysis, coma, or surgery that results in bed rest for a long time 2. Issues with bladder or bowel management. 3. Poor Nutrition: A diet that doesn’t have enough protein or fiber can lead to unhealthy skin and slow healing. 4. Aging: As people age, their skin becomes thinner, drier, and less elastic, so it is more easily injured 5. Smoking dries out the skin and reduces blood flow to the skin 6. Having a health problem that interferes with healing such as diabetes. How can you Prevent Pressure Sores/Bed Sores? 1. Change Position Often. Whether you are in a chair or in bed, always try to move around so you decrease the pressure on your skin. 2. If you are in a wheelchair, shift your weight to the other side where 15 minutes or if you can, try lifting yourself up in the chair on both arms. 3. A thin layer of corn starch on the sheets will help to reduce friction, 4. Take good care of your skin. You will need to spend time daily cleaning the skin, keeping it dry from incontinence or perspiration. Pay special attention to bony areas, such as the hips, elbows, knees, and heels. Also check places where the skin folds over itself. 5. Eat healthy foods with enough protein, and get plenty of fluids. 6. Get a chair cushion that fits your body’s shape better. There are cushions that can reduce pressure on certain areas of the body. Sit on a foam or get seat cushion that fits your wheelchair. Do not sit on donut-shaped cushions.
