<![CDATA[Decubitus is a wound caused by excessive external pressure, generally occurring in patients suffering from chronic diseases who often lie in bed for a long time. Another factor that causes decubitus is the presence of a long history of Diabetes Mellitus. The intervention carried out for decubitus is the provision of bed rest. Switching beds every 2 hours can improve blood circulation and improve metabolic regulation to restore the physiology of vital organs and accelerate wound healing.
