Decubitus ulcer or Bed sores
Bed sores are very ordinary nonetheless found to be a very serious problem in nursing homes, assisted living facilities and hospitals. Take loved one who is experiencing bed sore and immediately take them to the wound care specialist. We see families all the time, that assume they are healing and by the time they learn otherwise, it’s too late. Decubitus ulcer, it sounds like a fancy terms for the things that are alike - a wounded created because of excessive pressure on the skin, which also cause the skin to breakdown. The occurrences of these wounds are frequently in care settings that are long term. Currently, by stating they occur frequently, I am not implying that pressure ulcers are not preventable, or treatable. I am conveying that simple, but true fact, that wounds are suffered by thousands of our long term care residents.
