The pressure cuts off the blood supply; without blood&#8217;s oxygen and nutrients, skin tissue starts to die.<\/p>\n<p>Bed sores start with skin redness or a blister, but can progress to a deep wound that damages muscles, tendons, and bone. Following are ways to prevent bed sores:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Change position in bed at least every two hours. In a wheelchair, change position at least hourly.<\/li>\n<li>If you&#8217;re able to move yourself, shift position every 15 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Do not lift the head of your bed greater than 30 degrees to prevent sliding and friction.<\/li>\n<li>Find a sitting or lying position that is 30 degrees toward one side of your body or the other, not squarely on the hip.<\/li>\n<li>Place a pillow under calves to keep your heels off the mattress. Place a pillow between the knees. Do not use donut-ring cushions, which can cut off circulation. Use a special bed mattress or wheelchair cushion.<\/li>\n<li>Wear special pads to protect skin that rests against braces and other devices.<\/li>\n<li>When moving someone, lift rather than drag. Use assistive devices, such as transfer boards and mechanical lifts. Try placing a sheepskin under a body part to decrease friction.<\/li>\n<li>Keep the skin clean and dry. Do not massage bony areas.<\/li>\n<li>If incontinent, use a protective cream on skin that may come in contact with urine or feces. Do not let feces or urine remain in contact with skin for extended periods of time.<\/li>\n<li>Check skin at least daily for signs of pressure problems. Keep sheets clean and free of wrinkles.<\/li>\n<li>Maintain good nutrition.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Recognizing Pressure Sores<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Pressure sores are classified in four stages. Cabot P.O.L. CREAM can be effective to help prevent the development of stage one and stage two pressure sores.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1599&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]Pressure ulcers are serious medical conditions that require treatment from a health care professional.<\/p>\n<p>Seek professional medical advice right away for any open sores, infections, or chronic conditions.
