What are severe bed sores?

Severe bed sores are often referred to as bedsores with a large area of ulceration and a deep depth. Some patients have even deep bones such as black scabs and cavities. To prevent the bedsores from becoming worse, you should use these scientific methods to treat them.

 

Cavity Care Method

A cavity wound forms when there is not timely debridement. Debridement should be performed to remove internal necrotic tissues and pus. Then, oil gauze can be used to fill the hole, i.e., cutting the gauze strips to stain it. The ointment for bedsores is injected into the wound, allowing it to fully contact the wound.

 

Black scab-type bedsore care methods

Incorrect use of baking lamps or powders caused thick black scabs to cover the wound. Under the scabs were pus and necrosis, resulting in long-term nonhealing. The black scab of the patient should be cleaned and softened with hydrogen peroxide, normal saline and cotton swabs. It can then be gently pulled apart and removed with scissors and tweezers. The lower part of the black scab is often hollow or subcutaneous type bedsores. The treatment is the same.

 

Deep cavity and sinus bedsores: Nursing treatment methods

The internal space of deep cavities and sinuses is usually large, with small sores. Oil-filled gauze can only be used as conservative treatment. It is better to use surgical methods to open up the wound and make it an open wound. Apply ointment for muscle restoration.
