A member asked:
For a bedridden patient after stroke, how often should be turned over by his/her family?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Every 3 - 4 hours: Preventing bed sores is extremely important in a bedridden patient. Turning every 3 - 4 hours should suffice for most patients. Watch the sacrum and the heels, which are very susceptible. There are special beds available which can help as well.
