About Bedsore at Kayakriti

Bedsores, or pressure ulcers, are wounds caused by prolonged pressure on the skin and underlying tissues, often over bony prominences. They are most common in patients with paralysis, post-traumatic immobilisation, ICU admissions, ventilator dependence, fractures, or advanced age. Pressure sore treatment at Kayakriti begins with a careful assessment of the wound, the patient's general condition, and the practical home environment in which long-term care will take place.

Common locations include the sacrum, ischium, and trochanters, with additional vulnerability at the heel, elbow, malleolus, knee, scapula, and occiput. Risk factors include immobility, poor nutrition, incontinence, diabetes, and impaired sensation. Wound care treatment classifies bedsores by depth, from superficial reddening of intact skin in early stages to full-thickness loss involving muscle and bone in advanced disease, and matches treatment to severity.

Dr. Amit Agarwal evaluates the underlying cause alongside the wound itself. Neurological referrals are arranged where indicated, diabetes is optimised with physician input, and nutrition is improved with a target serum albumin of more than 2.8 g/dL. Pus discharge is sent for culture and sensitivity to guide appropriate antibiotics. Where bone infection is suspected, digital X-rays of the affected area help with chronic wound management decisions about surgery.

Category I and II ulcers are often managed without admission, with structured dressings and home-care education when other conditions are stable. Category III and IV ulcers usually require hospital admission, multidisciplinary clearance, and surgical correction with debridement, negative pressure therapy, or flap coverage as appropriate. We discuss realistic timelines, the role of position changes and pressure-relieving mattresses, and the importance of long-term follow-up to prevent recurrence.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

How much does bedsore treatment in Lucknow cost?
Costs depend on whether the ulcer is managed conservatively or surgically, the length of admission, and any specialised dressings, negative pressure therapy, or flap procedures used. After assessment, we provide a written estimate so families can plan around continuing care needs, equipment such as air mattresses, and outpatient follow-up over the months that recovery typically requires.
Is bedsore surgery painful?
Surgery is performed under suitable anaesthesia and is not painful during the procedure. Post-operative discomfort is managed with a structured analgesia plan tailored to the patient's overall condition. Many patients with neurological injuries have reduced sensation in the affected area, but we still monitor carefully for signs of complications such as bleeding, infection, or flap compromise.
How long does it take for a bedsore to heal?
Healing time depends on depth, location, nutrition, and general health. Superficial ulcers may heal in a few weeks with diligent care. Deep, full-thickness wounds, especially those involving bone, often require months of combined surgical and conservative treatment. We share realistic timelines at consultation rather than promising rapid resolution that the wound biology cannot reliably support.
Will the bedsore come back after treatment?
Recurrence is a real risk, especially when the underlying immobility persists. Air mattresses, regular position changes, skin care, nutrition, and ongoing review significantly reduce recurrence rates. Family training is a key part of long-term success, and we make sure caregivers understand both daily prevention and the early warning signs that should prompt urgent return for review.
