BEDSORES DIAGNOSIS |
|
|
Physical
examination, medical history, and patient and caregiver observations
are the basis of diagnosis. Special attention must be paid to
physical or mental problems, like incontinence or confusion, that
could complicate a patient's recovery.
Bedsores usually follow six stages:
Redness of skin
Redness, swelling, and possible peeling of outer layer of skin
Dead skin, draining wound, and exposed layer of fat
Tissue death through skin and fat, to muscle
Inner fat and muscle death
Destruction of bone, bone, infection, fracture, and blood infection. |
