This method is suitable for most injuries such as knees, hips, thighs, calves, ankles, forearms, upper arms, fingers, wrists and elbows. If you feel tired, you can take off the quilt or cushion after 2-3 hours, lie flat on the bed and relax. These two postures can be changed every 2-3 hours.
Second, after properly adjusting the diet, you generally don't need a special diet and you can eat normally. After all, now that the living standard has improved, the usual diet can completely meet the nutritional needs of the injured parts, and there is no need to buy nutritional products and osteopathic drugs. If you are a long-term bedridden patient, it is recommended to eat more foods rich in plant fiber such as vegetables and fruits. After all, you are always lying in bed and prone to constipation.
Third, turn over frequently to promote expectoration. For elderly patients, pay more attention to turning over to prevent bedsores. It is best to exercise every 1 hour, or buy an air cushion bed for the patient. If it is hot, you can prepare more talcum powder. Don't underestimate bedsores. Once bedsore is formed, it is difficult to heal and it is easy to form systemic infection. Many elderly patients died not from fractures, but from bedsores. For patients with respiratory diseases who need to stay in bed, more attention should be paid to making patients expectorate. If conditions permit, we can let patients sit up and help them pat their backs and expectorate.
