Bed Sores in Nursing Homes
Advocates For Victims Of Pressure Ulcers
Bed sores, also called pressure ulcers, occur when capillaries are restricted or cut off for long periods of time. This cuts off the flow of oxygen to the skin and can result in severe damage to the skin, muscles and blood vessels in the area affected. In severe cases, they can lead to death.
Bedridden people in nursing homes and hospitals are particularly susceptible to bed sores. However, there are several simple measures that can be taken to prevent the problem, such as periodic re-positioning of the person or the use of specially designed cushions filled with air, water, gel or foam. Simply stated, bed sores can be avoided — provided that caregivers and nursing home management take appropriate measures.

Compensation And Justice For Victims Of Negligence
