Abstract

Decubitus ulcer has been the well-known but unsolved problem ever before. We medical staffs have seemed to give up the prevention or recurrences or even complete healing of decubitus ulcer, justifying ourselves that they are complicated with basically severe fatal diseases or bedridden disabled. But it is true that once a decubitus ulcer comes up, the medical expenses are certainly run up higher if neither the earlier treatment nor nursing care taken timely and adequately. And the deep ulcer always makes us feel guilty and tragic.
