Infants in the NICU are patients that require specialized care with unique clinical considerations. Specific recommendations must be considered for all systems of NICU patients and the skin is not any different. Infants who are being cared for in the NICU, especially those that were born premature have an increased risk for skin trauma. On this episode, we review some of the skin care guidelines and recommendations available for clinical practice of NICU patients.

As NICU clinicians, is is important to not only be aware of the anatomical variations of a term and preterm infant’s skin, but to also know how that guides their clinical care and treatment plan. Many of the topics we cover on this episode have been standards of care for years, but there are also new recommendations for practice and products available based on recent research findings. 

NICU clinicians will hear a great review as well as up-to-date clinical recommendations for skin care of our specialized population in the NICU. The episode will also be beneficial for parents to hear the clinical practice guidelines and recommendations for term and preterm infants as well as some of the variations that may exist between different institutions.
