Risk Factors of Neonatal Medical Adhesive-Related Skin Injury and Management of High-Risk Nodes

摘要

Objective:To analyze the risk factors of neonatal medical adhesive-related skin injury and put forward targeted preventive measures,so as to provide reference for the care and prevention of neonatal medical adhesive-related skin injuries.Methods:Using the convenience sampling method,262 neonates admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit(NICU)of a tertiary general hospital in Wenzhou from April 2021 to May 2022 were selected as the study subjects.The incidence of medical adhesive-related skin injuries in these neonates was retrospectively analyzed.Results:Among the 262 children,43 cases had skin injuries,with an incidence rate of 16.4%.Single factor analysis showed that the occurrence of medical adhesive-related skin injury was related to gestational age,weight,electrocardiogram(ECG)monitoring,venous access,ambient temperature,and mechanical ventilation(P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression showed that gestational age,ECG monitoring,and ambient temperature were independent risk factors of medical adhesive-related skin injury(OR values were 0.700,0.431,and 6.365,respectively).Conclusion:The high incidence of neonatal medical adhesive-related skin injury may be caused by one or more factors.Clinical measures should be taken,such as selecting the appropriate type of adhesive according to gestational age and using skin-protecting membrane,minimizing ECG monitoring,etc.,to prevent the occurrence of neonatal medical adhesive-related skin injury.
