decubitus, decubitusulcus, doorligplek, doorligwond Explanation: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/007071.htm: A pressure ulcer is an area of skin that breaks down when you stay in one position for too long without shifting your weight. This often happens if you use a wheelchair or you are bedridden, even for a short period of time (for example, after surgery or an injury). The constant pressure against the skin reduces the blood supply to that area, and the affected tissue dies. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 26 mins (2005-10-09 19:35:36 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Wordt ook 'bedsore' genoemd. |
