Pressure ulcer treatment
In most cases, pressure ulcers have a significant impact on patient morbidity[1] and quality of life[2] and can even impact patient survival.[3]
Once a pressure ulcer has developed, it is important to draw up a coordinated treatment plan to promote healing.[4] The basic prerequisites for wound healing must be met and everything that interrupts this process needs to be avoided. These include pressure ease, a clean wound, circulation functioning, an adapted nutrition in terms of both calories and nutrients along with adequate hydration.[5]
