Detailed description
Pressure ulcers are primarily caused by prolonged pressure on the local skin, leading to damage, ulceration, and even necrosis of the skin and subcutaneous tissues due to ischemia and malnutrition. They commonly occur in individuals who are immobile due to illness or surgery, or who are bedridden or use wheelchairs for extended periods. The main manifestations include changes in the color of the compressed skin, blistering, ulceration, and even necrosis.
