For long-term bedridden paralyzed patients or disabled patients, the prevention of pressure ulcer is very important, and regular turning over is one of the economic and effective decompression measures, and is suitable for most patients.
1.Pay attention to the principle of force saving. For example, when turning over, try to keep the patient close to the nursing staff, so that the gravity can maintain balance through the supporting surface, and shorten the gravity arm to save labor.
2.When helping the patient turn over, lift the patient's body slightly before turning over. Do not drag, pull, push and other actions to avoid scratching the skin. When two people help turn over, they must pay attention to the coordination and light stability of their movements.
3.When assisting the patient to change the lying position, pay attention to the condition and pressure parts, determine the turning interval as appropriate, and make shift handover at the same time.
