The main goals of pressure ulcer treatment are healing the wound, controlling the discomfort, and avoiding infection. Here are some general guidelines for the treatment of pressure ulcers:

1. Pressure relief: The first step in treating pressure ulcers is to relieve the pressure on the affected area. This may involve changing the patient's position, using unique cushions or mattresses, and avoiding further pressure on the affected area.

2. Wound care: Proper wound care is essential to promote healing and prevent infection. This may include cleaning the wound, removing dead tissue, and applying a dressing or bandage to protect the wound.
