Nursing Performance Regarding Maintaining Skin Integrity for Children in Pediatric Intensive Care Units

Asmaa Gaber Mandour;

Abstract


Maintenance of skin integrity in hospitalized pediatric patients is a critical component of nursing care. Immobility-related pressure ulcers are defined as localized areas of tissue destruction that develop when soft tissue is compressed between a bony prominence and an external surface for a prolonged time.
Pediatric critical care nurses create an environment in which critically unstable, highly vulnerable infants and children benefit from the vigilant care and the coordinated efforts of a team of highly skilled pediatric healthcare professionals. Indeed, the art and science of pediatric critical care have matured tremendously over the past three decades (Diers, 2012).
