['Decubitus' guideline of the Dutch College of Family Practice; response from family practice].
The guideline on pressure ulcers issued by the Dutch College of General Practitioners gives a lot of practical information for the family doctor and the practical nurse. The main thought is the treatment of decubitus in a moist environment. Furthermore this guideline will help the doctor to make the right choice in the chaos of supplies. It is of great interest that interdisciplinary collaboration will take place on this issue, for a well developed communication gives the best results of treatment.
