I’ve taken care of my quadriplegic son for 27 years. He I went to a Pittsburgh hospital and the nurse didn’t turn on the intermittent air and caused a bedsore. He’s in a nursing home now and they’re still caring for this bedsore 5 months later. He also developed one on his right side because he was kept laying on a drainage tube. It developed into a large quarter size hole. When I took care of him he developed hardly any. He bought a great alternating air mattress. These beds in nursing home are terrible. I’m taking problems into my own hand I have a call into the wound center at my local hospital with questions hopefully I’ll get a call back.
Appreciate you so much for taking the time to share your experience. Wishing you and your son all the best. Thank you!
My father had a brain stem stroke in July 2023. He spent 40 days or so in the hospital and was sent to a long term care facility. There he developed a quarter size bed sore like your son. He’s been sent back to the hospital for treatment. His bed sore is getting better as the hospital rotates him every two hours. Speedy recovery for your son.
As a mother of an adult quad i can tell you from 40 years of experience. Air is the cure. A small personal fan to the area as long as possible. Keep the area clean but NOT wet. No dressing needed. The area will not increase or deepen. Nutrition is essential especially zinc Vit C and protein supplements are essential. Hope this helps. My daughter’s friends who have/had breakdowns take 90% longer to heal. Many times needing surgery. ❤
Thanks. I am 70 and lost weight. Now I suffer from easily breaking down skin at my tailbone. You gave me 2 good things to do for myself. I appreciate it. So painful and aggravating. Thanks for the help.
You are so welcome! So glad I could provide some ideas to help protect your skin from breaking down… and so glad you are being proactive on preventing pressure injuries.
Me, too. I never thought that losing the weight would affect my tailbone and give me a bedsore. Who knew?
I am passing this on to another person to inform them about pressure sres. Thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing!😊
People....I was an RN for Hospice...and got 3-4 Stage 2-3 ulcers/decubitus ulcers to "finalize and heal".
How? First, cut out the "processed foods; cakes, cupcakes, crackers, in other words....cut the high carbohydrate foods for 2-3 months....don't stop them in their' entirety....too difficult for older folks.
But: Beef, butter, bacon and eggs, will help to heal these problems. Eating "bon-bons" and allowing this should be considered malpractice today.
We need and deserve quality fats and proteins in the quantity needed for healing. This works. Get started today.
What do we put for type 2 pressure sore?
Thankfully that’s minor you can use medihoney, also raw unfiltered honey works wonders. Definitely keep it dry and clean and covered with basic wound dressings. But again it’s stage two so definitely keep watch on it. Always glove up and of course wash your hands first. Right now I’m dealing with a stage 4 by myself. It’s hard to care for a loved one 24/7. Oh and the ointment you can just put that on there too. Best wishes and no I’m not a wound care nurse. Remember to switch positions regularly etc.
I would particularly like to know *how much* of a weight shift is needed to avoid creating a pressure ulcer. I’m finishing nursing school soon and will likely be working in an ER in the near future and people will often spend prolonged time waiting on a bed (multiple days is not out of the equation). I would hate for my patients to start a pressure ulcer that might end up with sepsis further down the road.
That is a great question! Just a small shift in weight is needed, such as placing a pillow under one hip. You don’t want to turn your patient completely on their side, because this puts pressure over the greater trochanter. After 2 hours, move the pillow under the other hip… and so on every 2 hours. LOVE that you already thinking ahead about how to protect your patient from pressure injuries!! You will be a great nurse. ❤️
Amazing video! How to we get elder parents who won’t eat to drink an ensure. Harder than it seems! Help
So glad it was helpful! I hear you about trying to get older loved ones to drink ensure… I am currently trying to get a loved one to get his protein intake up too! It is worth trying different brands and flavors to see if one is more tolerable than another. If the milk-like consistency is the problem, Naked juice makes a higher protein drink that may be worth trying.
Hello, can you use a waffle cushion along with a pressure mattress pad, or is that too much?
Hi grandma suffers from bad bed sores. Will calmoseptine still be useful? Or any other cream or spray recommendations? Please advice thanks a bunch!
Thank you mam
Most welcome 😊
What is the dose of vit c
Can you treat the breakdown skin from a pressure sore with aloe Vera leaf
There is data to suggest that aloe vera can help with pressure injury prevention and treatment. Here is a link to a good article: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6330525/
What about sores in the crease of the leg near butt bones? Very purple.
It's a deep tissue injury with blood blisster under skin. It might quickly become stage 3, 4 bed sore.
@@thuynhienle yea it has opened up and bled out. Now just trying to heal it up. Don't know the difference in the stages. It's open. Keeping it moist....have put manuka honey on it. Just winging it
Have a test tomorrow morning on this! Thanks so much!! ❤
You are so welcome! Good luck on your test!
My dad is suffering...
My dad recently fell. Has more limited mobility now and needs a walker. Do I turn/move him in the middle of the night?
I'm from South Africa and I developed a bed sore on my left heel while I was in hospital now years later it developed this hard layer of dried out skin which is very painful when it presses on the inside of my shoes although I cut it off it keeps growing back do you have any advice?
Appreciate you reaching out! We encourage you to reach out to your primary care provider. We are unable to provide personal medical advice. We wish you the best!
Hi , in what direction should we take off tape on the abdomen ,
When it comes to wounds or surgical sites what directions are we going in in terms taking a dressing off or irrigation I’m so confused .
It honestly doesn’t make much difference in what direction the tape comes off… only that it comes off without pain and skin damage. Using an adhesive remover and a push-pull technique (push down on skin while gently pulling up a dressing) can help. In terms of surgical site care, definitely defer to your surgeon‘a instructions. 👍
If you or someone you love has any such problem and you need someone to take care of it, contact us.
