የግፊት ቁስሎች (bedsores, decubitus ulcers, pressure ulcers) በአንድ ቦታ ላይ ለረጅም ጊዜ፣ ብዙ ጊዜ በአጥንት አካባቢ ላይ ጫና በሚፈጠርበት ጊዜ የሚደርሱ የቆዳ እና የቲሹ ጉዳቶች ናቸው። በጣም የተለመዱት በ sacrum፣ ኢሽያል ቱቦርሲቲ (ischial tuberosity) እና ግሪተር ትሮክሰንተር (greater trochanter) ላይ ነው፣ ነገር ግን እንደ ኦክሲፑት (occiput)፣ ትከሻ (shoulder)፣ ኤልቦ (elbow)፣ ሂል (heel)፣ ላተራል ማለውር (lateral malleolus)፣ ቁርጭምጭሚት (??) እና ጆሮ (ear) ባሉ ሌሎች የሰውነት ክፍሎች ላይም ሊከሰቱ ይችላሉ።
Pressure injuries, also termed bedsores, decubitus ulcers, or pressure ulcers, are localized skin and soft tissue injuries that form as a result of prolonged pressure and shear, usually exerted over bony prominences. These ulcers are present 70% of the time at the sacrum, ischial tuberosity, and greater trochanter. However, they can also occur in the occiput, scapula, elbow, heel, lateral malleolus, shoulder, and ear.
