3) Hospital Acquired Condition - Pressure Injury

This video explains what a pressure injury (also known as a bedsore) is — an area of damaged skin caused by prolonged pressure, often occurring in patients who are immobile. Pressure injuries can be prevented with proper care. To prevent pressure injuries in hospitalized children: — Check the skin regularly, especially under medical devices. — Reposition your child at least every 2 hours to avoid pressure buildup. — Use pressure-reducing mattresses or cushions. — Keep the skin clean and dry, including around devices like tracheostomies or feeding tubes. — Apply moisture barrier creams as needed. Rotate devices like pulse oximeters every 6 hours to prevent skin damage. The video encourages parents to take an active role in prevention and reminds them that their child’s care is the hospital's top priority. -NNM. RL
