What Are Pressure Ulcers?
Pressure ulcers occur when sustained pressure on a part of the body restricts blood flow to the skin and underlying tissues, leading to tissue damage and breakdown. This condition can range from mild skin discoloration to deep wounds that expose muscle and bone. Early intervention is crucial to prevent progression and complications.
Symptoms of Pressure Ulcers
Main Causes of Pressure Ulcers
The primary cause of pressure ulcers is prolonged pressure on the skin, often in combination with friction or shearing forces. Factors such as immobility, poor nutrition, and moisture contribute significantly to their development. These elements compromise skin integrity and reduce blood supply to vulnerable areas.
