Wound and Skin Care for the PICU
Critical Care Nursing Quarterly, 1997Pediatric intensive care nurses are frequently challenged by caring for critically ill patients with wounds or the potential for skin breakdown. This article summarizes wound care guidelines, discusses nutritional support, and provides a tool for assessing the pediatric patient at risk for skin breakdown.

Skin Substitutes and Wound Healing
Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, 2009Medical science has vastly improved on the means and methods available for the treatment of wounds in the clinic. The production and use of various types of skin substitutes has led to dramatic improvements in the odds of survival for severely burned patients, but they have also shown promise for many other applications, including cases involving ...

Clinics in Geriatric Medicine
Responsible for many essential functions of life, human skin is made up of many components, each of which undergoes significant functional changes with aging and photodamage. Wound healing was previously thought to be defective in the elderly given the higher presence of chronic wounds and the longer time required for re-epithelialization of acute ...

Archives of Surgery, 1984
To the Editor.—The article by Stillman et al1regarding the advantages of staples over sutures in contaminated wounds also stated that skin tapes should be the preferred method of skin-wound closure. The authors stated that they were reluctant to use tapes routinely because of "variability in their adhesive properties." I have used the microporous tapes

The pathogenesis of skin wounds due to pressure
Journal of Tissue Viability, 1976Wounds due to pressure arise in areas of anoxic necrosis. Blood is excluded from the skin by pressures in excess of the mean capillary pressure. In addition, trauma initiates haemostatic mechanisms which increase the extent of the vascular occlusion owing to the fact that endothelial cell retraction occurs and platelet thrombosis takes place ...
