Bedsore (Pressure Ulcer) Dressing: Management & Step-by-Step Guide

Bedsores (pressure ulcers) develop due to prolonged pressure on the skin, often in immobile patients. Proper wound assessment, staging, and dressing selection are crucial for healing.

1. Bedsore Staging & Characteristics

Stage Description Appearance
Stage I Non-blanchable erythema Red, intact skin
Stage II Partial-thickness skin loss Blister, shallow ulcer
Stage III Full-thickness skin loss Deep crater, fat visible
Stage IV Full-thickness + tissue necrosis Bone/tendon exposed
Unstageable Covered by slough/eschar Depth unknown

2. Dressing Selection Based on Wound Type

Wound Condition Recommended Dressing Purpose
Dry/Necrotic Hydrogel or Alginate Moisture retention, debridement
Moderate Exudate Foam or Hydrocolloid Absorb fluid, protect
Heavy Exudate Alginate or Silver Dressing Control infection, absorb drainage
Infected Antimicrobial (Silver/Honey) Fight bacteria
Granulating Transparent Film or Hydrocolloid Promote healing

3. Step-by-Step Bedsore Dressing Change

Supplies Needed:

✔ Sterile gloves
✔ Saline or wound cleanser
✔ Appropriate dressing (e.g., foam, alginate)
✔ Skin barrier film (if needed)
✔ Adhesive tape/securement

Procedure:

  1. Hand hygiene & don gloves.
  2. Gently clean wound (saline, no harsh antiseptics).
  3. Debride if needed (slough/necrotic tissue).
  4. Apply skin protectant (around wound edges).
  5. Place dressing (ensure full coverage).
  6. Secure with tape/film (avoid pressure on wound).
  7. Document wound size, exudate, and dressing type.

4. Key Principles in Bedsore Care

✅ Relieve pressure (reposition every 2 hrs, use foam mattresses).
✅ Keep wound moist (not too wet/dry).
✅ Monitor for infection (pus, odor, increased pain).
✅ Nutrition support (high-protein diet for healing).

5. When to Consult a Specialist?

  • Stage III/IV ulcers (may need surgical debridement).
  • Suspected osteomyelitis (bone infection).
  • Non-healing wounds (despite proper care).
