Hidden Dangers of Pressure Injuries (Bedsores)
Did you know? Pressure injuries—commonly known as bedsores—can develop in just hours if left unmonitored. These wounds typically affect patients with limited mobility and can lead to serious infections if untreated.
🔎 Watch for these early warning signs:
• Red or discolored skin that doesn’t fade when pressed
• Swelling, tenderness, or pain in pressure-prone areas
• Skin that feels warmer or cooler than surrounding areas
• Open sores or blisters
Prevention is possible with the right care:
🔹 Frequent repositioning
🔹 Special pressure-relieving cushions and mattresses
🔹 Skin inspections by trained professionals
🔹 Good nutrition and hydration
