What Should Be Reserved for the Care of Bed-Patients?

As you know, all kinds of diseases people are not only stifle the elderly, but other ages. At the same person may be bed-patients, and without help he can not do. The causes of these diseases are different. Sometimes the consequences of other diseases, sometimes the consequences of injury or simply old age, disease complications. In all cases, these people are united by the lack of mobility and need our help.

Very often, when there is trouble, people are not prepared. I will not try in this paper to describe all the details, but the basics will share.

So, first of all need to stock up on kindness, compassion, faith, patience, moral and physical forces.

The second thing that is sure to be in demand - it aids and medical supplies necessary for a care for immobile patients.
Auxiliary facilities include waterproof diapers, diapers, cotton, craft.

Now a little about each.

Diapers are needed to insure the sheets from getting wet in unexpected situations in disguise diapers, as well as for under the sheet. Last used to prevent accidental soaking mattress bed. Better suited for this purpose, waterproof diaper 60 x 90 cm for a single bed patient will need no more than 30 pieces. diapers per month.

Diapers contribute to the retention of urine and its resulting odors incontinence. Diapers are divided: the size and the degree of water retention. Information can be obtained from the employee pharmacy where purchased diapers. If the bed patient urinary incontinence, you may need at least 70-90 diapers per month.

Cotton wool swabs used to make that skin treated with camphor spirit.

The vessel is used for reception of urine and emptying of the stomach. By the choice of the vessel must be approached very carefully. The vessel must not be cold. This property is better meets the plastic. Before the ship recommended to heat hot water to body temperature. The shape of the vessel shall be convenient.

Because of all bedridden patients has decubitus formation, then it implies the necessary minimum of auxiliary drugs. This camphor alcohol ointments containing zinc, creams and gels that promote skin regeneration. Of course, all drugs should be coordinated with the attending or family physician.

Camphor alcohol is used to wipe the skin, which may be formed of bedsores. Ointment to promote skin regeneration, may be applied as a preventive measure after drying of the skin treated with camphor spirit.

Harbinger of decubitus formation and subsequent destruction of the skin is darkening of the skin. In the first place, such discoloration can occur on the thighs, back in the falcon, at least on the sides of the foot, near the heel.

People caring for such patients, one must try to prevent the occurrence of darkening of the skin. For this purpose, must periodically change the position of the body lying patient. That is, it must be rotated at regular intervals from one to the other side or back.
With the same purpose should be cleaned with alcohol, camphor patches of skin on which a person has to lie for a long time.

In bedridden patients, as a rule, there are problems associated with the work of the stomach, which made possible constipation. To this end, a laxative, which must be agreed upon or with your family doctor.

Almost all bedridden patients need extra vitamins and minerals, they can not get to bed by way of life. Talk to your doctor and make the necessary vitamin intake.

Finally, wish all this knowledge is not needed! Well, if all the same accident happened, then a speedy recovery!
