Bedridden Senior at Home: Bi-Weekly Dust-Mite Service Reduces Respiratory Infections
A True Story: Nongnuch, 56, Caring for Her 84-Year-Old Bedridden Father, Lat Phrao
Her bedridden father had pneumonia 4 times in one year — nearly 200,000 THB in ER bills. Root cause: dust mites and bacteria on the patient's mattress. WHD bi-weekly service cut infections to once a year.
Why Bedridden Patients' Mattresses Are High-Risk
Patients on the bed 20+ hours/day shed sweat, saliva, skin — feeding dust mites and Pseudomonas/Staph bacteria that cause aspiration pneumonia.
Why Sheet Changes Aren't Enough
- Mattress under the sheets harbors infection
- Pillows, blankets can't be deep-washed
- Sofa in patient's room carries bacteria
- Maid vacuums have no real HEPA
