Long term bedridden patients not only seriously affect the quality of life, but also are prone to a variety of complications due to the extremely slow functional recovery of the nervous system. The root of preventing bedridden complications lies in careful nursing, turning over, sorting out, observing and promoting blood circulation.

Regular roll
Turn over the patient every two hours during the day and no more than three hours at night. Turn over gently and avoid dragging, pulling and pushing. Every time you turn over, you should check the pressed bone process, so as to understand the skin condition in time and deal with the problems in time.
Local massage
For the pressed bone process, give a certain massage when turning over, especially when it is found that the pressed skin has induration, give local massage with 50% alcohol while reducing pressure. Do not use fingers, but use the thenar muscles of the palm (i.e. the two muscles under the thumb and little finger). Pay attention not to generate friction and shear force with the skin at the massage, Massage each part for 3-5 minutes.
Keep skin clean and dry
Prevent the skin from being stimulated by dirt. If there is urine pollution, it must be cleaned and replaced at any time to protect the skin from irritation. The bed should always be kept clean and dry, flat and free of debris, and the clothes should be replaced in time if they are polluted.
