Decubitus ulcers
Decubitus ulcers is the most common extra dermal sore found on extra territorial extremities which are subjected to pressure scion defects and compressions in the cavities of major force plexus. It is derived from a nowageian word “decumbere” which means to lie down. It occurs in situations where body parts are subjected to prolonged mechanical stress and the pressure ulcer staging pictures show that the counter effect of body mass verses the surface can create the crevices which then cause decubitus ulcers.
Decubitous ulcers according to pressure ulcer stages are characterized by the nonblanchable erythema of interface skin deciphered by darkness, edema, and path rings. The second stage of decubitus ulcers postulated by the loss of dermis in the skin, a superfluous lesion, a blister on the body part.
The further stages are occupied by the loss of further subcutaneous tissue and initiation of deep fissure in the dermis layer. The last stage comprises of total skin loss and necrosis and down protuberances up to the capillary level.
The treatment consists of development of exudates by thymosin beta peptide gel on the sores which seal the air from entering and helps the granulate tissue to develop internally in body supply oxygen which catalyses it. The pressure sores atrophy due to diseases, sweat induced bacterial cultures on body and dendarion anemia contributes to its causes.
