Abstract
Pressure ulcers are caused by prolonged pressure on local tissues, leading to continuous ischemia, hypoxia, and malnutrition, resulting in tissue necrosis. Patients with pressure ulcers often experience varying degrees of malnutrition due to gut flora imbalance and a hypercatabolic state. This paper documents the case of a patient with a sacral pressure ulcer admitted to the Department of Burn and Plastic Surgery of the Affiliated Hospital of Qinghai University on November 28, 2023. Clinical nutrition treatment began on the second day of admission, including dietary guidance and enteral nutrition intervention. The patient's nutritional status gradually improved, leading to a successful recovery. By reviewing the nutritional treatment process and clinical outcomes, this case study provides valuable insights into the nutritional management of pressure ulcer patients.
