There is no long-term bedridden patients 7 major complications, but long-term bedridden may cause cumulative pneumonia, decubitus ulcers, osteoporosis, muscle atrophy, double lower extremity venous thrombosis and so on.
1. Accumulative pneumonia. Long-term bed-ridden patients are susceptible to pneumonia due to the restriction of their activities, which makes it difficult for them to cough up sputum and greatly affects their ventilation and air exchange.
2. Bedsores. If the patient is bedridden for a long time and keeps a position for a long time, the local pressure, especially in the lumbosacral area, can be crushed and form bedsores.
3. Osteoporosis. Prolonged bed rest and inactivity, calcium ions will be gradually lost, which can lead to osteoporosis.
4. Muscle atrophy Prolonged bed rest and reduced activity can cause wasting muscle atrophy.
5. Venous thrombosis of both lower limbs. Prolonged bed rest, lower limb activity is reduced, the venous blood flow is slow, and the formation of venous thrombosis.
Long-term bedridden patients are recommended to take care of under the guidance of professional physicians to avoid delays.
