Pressure Injuries (Bedsores)
What Are Pressure Injuries?
Pressure injuries, also called bedsores, occur when constant pressure reduces blood flow to the skin. They are most common in immobile patients and residents.
Why Treatment Matters
Bedsores are one of the leading causes of preventable hospitalizations and can lead to:
-
Painful open wounds
-
Serious infections
-
Increased survey citations in facilities
-
Family dissatisfaction and liability risks
