Why does my loved one look that way?

Frequently, the inability to move, the assisted breathing, the critical illness, and the treatments for blood pressure may cause swelling or edema. There is little that can be done to prevent the swelling. The nurses may try to decrease the effect by keeping the head of the bed slightly raised and the hands elevated on pillows. Rings may need to be removed to protect the blood flow to the fingertips. The eyes may also swell, and the inside lining of the eyelid may stick out with the swelling.
