A
Pressure Sore is a skin wound caused by pressure, shear or friction. It occurs
when pressure reduces or cuts off the blood supply to a particular part of the
body for lengthy periods of time. Prevention is always the best form of
protection from PRESSURE SORES.
There are cases, though, where even with the best preventive measures in place,
these sores still stubbornly occur.
In
such cases, the utmost care must be taken to prevent further damage and
breakout. As well as prevent the present sores from degenerating any further or
becoming infected. It is important to work with the relevant health specialists
- doctors, nurses and various health workers - To make this happen effectively.
Symptoms - This is a persistent area of inflamed but unbroken skin that
may itch or hurt. It feels warm and spongy, or firm to the touch. These
symptoms warn of an oncoming pressure sore.
Treatment - The treatment for a Stage 1 PRESSURE ULCER is almost always bed rest, as it is important to
stay off the pressure sore to allow healing. Stage One pressure wounds are
superficial and go away shortly after the pressure is relieved. It can be
cleaned with warm (not hot) water and a mild soap. There may be little or no
pain as a lot of tissue and nerve-endings would have been destroyed.
All
PRESSURE SORES need to be treated
early, before it get to this stage. Here, it is difficult to treat and can lead
to serious complications. Before this ailment becomes a constant issue, it's
important to consider changing the mattress, chair, and cushioning system that
is being utilized for long periods of time. Prevention is often better than the
treatments of these types of sores, which is why getting proper support is
crucial. Even for a bed-ridden person, the investment into a quality mattress
can go a long way.
It's
important to evenly distribute the pressure and body weight over a certain
surface area to get maximum results. Without proper consideration in regards to
these things, a person can end up with severe spots all over the body, which is
not only hard to heal, but also difficult to live with. Do not be fooled, these
are not life threatening, unless they aren't taken care of immediately. If you
