Summary Bedsores (UPPs) should be viewed as a multifaceted problem, but the direct relationship which exists between these lesions and the pressure which is exercised between the surface one rests on and a zone having a prominent bone bears significant weight. Therefore, the following are some basic measures which can prevent bedsores: mobility posture changes, local protection and the use of special surfaces for the management of pressure.
