How do you treat bed sores ?

Simple treatment: Bedsores are caused by unrelieved pressure over boney areas but are also caused by friction and deep tissue shearing so moving around worsens them. The keys are simple, get them and keep them off the area entirely as much as possible. Make sure they have good nutrition to help healing. Avoid medicines that slow down healing like antiinflammatories Motrin or advil (ibuprofen). Skilled wound docs are key.

Pressure wounds: Pressure wounds are all about pressure off loading. Alleviation of the pressure / decreased blood flow is the key. Therefore environmental modification of beds, turning routine, and wheel chairs are of paramount importance. Wound care with adequate surgery to clear the bad tissue is also important. Nutrition should be optimized. Occasionally flaps are done on full thickness wounds.
