IMPORTANT POSITIONING TO THE PATIENT
"One of the important points of bed sores is positioning the patient. Bed sores are more common in patients with elbows, coccyx, heels, backs of the head and right or left regions. These areas where muscle tissue is less are exposed to compression and oxygen free for a long time. Because the tissues cannot feed well, they begin to lose their vitality, and the infections are spreading more rapidly in the dead tissues, and most of the time, a huge wound is opened in 1 night and this is how the problem occurs. needs to be provided.
BED SHEET SPECIAL FOR BED PATIENTS
The position of the patient should be changed to a maximum of 2 hours. Because the patients cannot change their positions and stay in the same position for a long time, bed wounds develop rapidly. In such cases, we can use specially equipped beds, special products to relieve the pressure there, or we can prevent bed sores by positioning the patient at various angles every 2 hours. The angles of these positions may change from time to time. The body parts of the patient that come into contact with the bed and the body parts that come into contact with each other, such as the knees in the patient lying sideways, should be checked frequently for redness. It should be noted that redness that does not persist is the initial stage of pressure ulcer. If the patient is in the supine position or in the sitting position, a pillow must be placed between the knees in the patient lying sideways to remove the pressure on the heels. "
AIR FLOW IN BEDS IMPORTANT
