- Abstract
Newborn skin is completely different from adult skin, it adapts to new environments and stimuli. We distinguish between the skin of a full-term newborn and the skin of an immature newborn, which is even more specific and requires different and even more sensitive care. A few days after birth and in the following period, a newborn adapts to the stimuli with which his/her skin comes into contact and affects its ability to adapt. During this period, the child requires an individual approach, gentle handling and positioning, clothing with very fine and airy structures and the use of suitable products to the lowest extent possible due to the high absorption of the newborn skin. The prevention of injuries, especially with medical technology, whether during handling of the fetus or during the stay of the child in the hospital due to prematurity and immaturity, is the most important thing we focus on. For prevention, we use special devices and equipment suitable for newborns and an individualized approach to the child and the situations that may occur. The case reports provide an overview of injuries, their treatment and prevention. Prevention is on the first place in our work, which leads to the reduction of injuries in such young children, which is our main goal.
