How to provide effective care for paralyzed patients?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended checking with the neurology department. How can paralyzed patients be cared for effectively?

Doctor's answer:

Long-term bedridden patients are prone to developing bedsores, and it is best to turn them over every two hours to prevent bedsores entirely. It is also important to monitor the patient's back to prevent the recurrence of atelectasis pneumonia. It is recommended to apply cold compresses to the lower body once a day, which can help prevent the formation of lower limb thrombosis. Due to the patient's prolonged bed rest, after two or three months of recovery from other basic conditions, it is necessary to increase food intake and avoid making the patient gain weight.
