Decubiti/Pressure Ulceration

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Discussion:
- sacral, ischial, trochanteric, and heel ulcerations are most common;

prior to surgical stabilization;
- doughnut cushions should not be used, because they decrease blood flow to the area resting in the center of the donut;
