Pressure Sores |
Bedsores; Bedsores (Pressure sores); Decubitus Ulcers |
Bedsores, more properly termed pressure ulcers, are ulcers (sores) caused by pressure, friction or shear on vulnerable areas of the body, such as bony or cartilaginous areas. Vulnerability to the effects of pressure, friction and shear are exaggerated by moisture, immobility and general debility. Decubitus ulcers are pressure ulcers that occur when the patient lies on his or her back for long periods (Wilhelmi and Neumeister, 2005). Examples of areas vulnerable to pressure ulcers include th ...
