title: [Managing pressure ulcers in palliative care in geriatric units].
abstract: Many elderly people at the end of life, in geriatric units, suffer from pressure ulcers despite preventive care. Measures are put in place in order to prevent the occurrence of new pressure ulcers and to define a local and general treatment strategy for those already occured . The priority remains to relieve the pain and improve the patient's comfort and quality of life.
