When using anti-decubitus mattresses, the elderly should also be turned over regularly, but the number of turns can be reduced. For example, in the past, it was possible to turn over every 2 hours, but now, it is possible to turn over every half a day, and there is no need to turn over at night. Caring for the elderly requires careful attention. Pay attention to the physical condition and nutritional status of the elderly. Turning over can help the elderly promote overall blood circulation and help with body functions.

The difference between anti decubitus mattress fluctuating and non-fluctuating: non-fluctuating anti decubitus mattress: reducing the pressure by increasing the contact surface between the body and the air mattress; fluctuating anti decubitus mattress: regularly changing the part of the air mattress that contacts the body to move the pressure surface The way.

For patients who are bedridden for a long time, the problems we often encounter in nursing care are the incontinence of the elderly, the need to wash the sheets, etc., and sometimes the anti decubitus mattress will be soiled. If you want to clean the anti decubitus mattress, generally we can wipe it directly with a slightly damp cloth. Try to avoid immersing the anti decubitus mattress in water for cleaning. For the anti decubitus mattress with air jet function, it should be cleaned in this way. In addition, during the re-use process, the breathability of the top sheet must be ensured, cotton or thin blankets are fine. Please do not use a cushion made of water-proof material under the patient. This can easily make the skin airtight.
