Cases of bedsores are among the most cases that require the presence of home nursing specialist with them to ensure that they are cared for in the appropriate manner for their condition.
How do bedsores form?
- Pressure ulcers or bedsores are formed as a result of the pressure on the skin that impedes the access of blood to that site, which worsens the situation when there is no movement.
- May also result from the friction of the skin of the infected bed or his clothes, especially when the skin is wet, as well as when the movement of the coccyx is backwards with the surface of the skin.
