In 1 year, 69 children visited the hospital's wound clinic: 50 children had pressure ulcers, and 19 children had skin breakdown secondary to delayed operative wound healing. The findings from the 50 children with pressure ulcers are reviewed. The primary diagnosis was myelodysplasia. Risk factors identified included (a) paralysis, (b) insensate areas, (c) high activity, and (d) immobility. The majority of the pressure ulcers occurred in the lower extremities, primarily the feet. As children get older or neurological condition deteriorates, sacral ulcers are seen particularly among wheelchair users. Pressure ulcers occur predominantly in the child's home environment. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
