Pressure ulcers, commonly known as bedsores, are a type of injury that affects the skin and underlying tissues due to continuous pressure on a specific area. There are different synonyms for pressure ulcers depending on the severity of the condition and location in the body. Decubitus ulcers, pressure sores, and pressure injuries are some of the most commonly used terms to describe these wounds. Other synonyms include ischemic ulcers, bedridden ulcers, skin breakdown, and pressure areas. These terms all refer to the same issue and are often used interchangeably. However, it is important to identify and treat pressure ulcers early to prevent further complications and promote patient comfort and healing.
