Physiology: Infantile skin• Immature Skin :
- Thin, even gelatinous in very preterm
- Decreased epidermal-dermal cohesion: Adhesives can attach more securely to epidermis than the epidermis is attached to the dermis.
- Increased risk of toxicity from topical agents - larger exposed surface area ( compared to body weight) and increased permeability due to alkaline skin
• Increased risk of infection
• Premature skin less able to prevent evaporation -fluid loss is more marked

Skin Barrier Function• Ability of skin to protect and function as a barrier to toxins, pathogenic organisms
•Can be measured by the skins ability to hold on to water ( TEWL), influenced by pH
•Immaturity, alterations in pH, skin injury or disease can result in impaired barrier function

Skin pH• pH > 6.0 at birth, falls to 5.0 in 4 days
• Premature infants pH 5.5 after one week, 5.1 after one month
• Diapered areas pH 6.0
• pH of adult skin 4.7 ( 24 hours after bathing)
• Acid mantle is protective at pH 4.7 − Transient flora is inhibited ( gram negative such as E. Coli, pseudomonas: gram positive staph; Candida.)

Epidermal- Dermal Bond•Rete ridges: epidermal protrusions of the basal layer that prevent the dermis and epidermis from moving independently from one another.
•Any action that causes friction between layers will create blisters, painful sores or skin tears.

Physiology: Infantile Skin• Infant skin has less total lipids compared to adults
• Soap emulsifies the lipid coating and removes it along with resident and transient bacteria
• Excessive soap can interfere with water holding capacity of the skin and may impair bacterial resistance.

ANTISEPTIC SKIN PREPARATIONS• Alcohol preparations can cause skin
necrosis
• Betadine carries a high risk for iodine overload. Preterm infants at greatest risk for hypothyroidism and possible neurodevelopmental delays.
• Chlorhexidine gluconate can cause skin burns.
• Gentle application with minimal scrubbing.
• Allow to dry completely.
• Do not allow to pool in skin folds.
• Consider removing the antiseptic after the procedure with sterile saline.

MARSI• Skin injury results when the skin to
adhesive attachment is stronger than skin cell to skin cell attachment
• A Medical Adhesive –Related Skin Injury ( MARSI): an occurrence in which erythema +/or other manifestation or cutaneous abnormality ( including, but not limited to, vesicle, bulla, erosion, or tear) persists 30 min.

Proper tape removal is critical in reducing the occurrence of traumatic skin injuries:
Remove tape “low and slow” in direction of hair growth, keeping it close to skin surface and
pulled back over itself. Removing tape at an angle will pull at the epidermis increasing risk of
mechanical trauma.

• A product used to approximate wound edges or to affix an external device ( tape, dressing, catheter, electrode, pouch ,or patch) to the skin.
Pressure sensitive: Adhesive is activated by applied pressure (surface contact area ↑)
• Types:
Acrylate: Adhesive warms and flows to fill in gaps in skin . Adherence can ↑over time
Hydrocolloid: Adhesion varies over time according to water content
Silicone: Newest class of adhesive; maintains same level of adherence over time
MARSI Prevention: Medical Adhesives

Mechanism of action :
• Silicone-based (non alcohol) solution that minimizes pressure required to remove adhesive by dissolving the adhesive.
• Evaporates: Does not leave residual or cause dry skin.

• Acts as an osmotic engine to draw fluid from deeper tissues to the wound surface to promote removal of devitalized tissue.
• Acts as inflammatory mediator : enhances macrophage production for tissue debridement and proliferation of angiogenesis.
• Has a low pH of 3.5 - 4.5 that helps provide antibacterial and antimicrobial effects.

What NPWT pressure should be used in infants & Children?
•Comparison: Group 1: 50 mmHg or Group 2: high pressure of 100 mmHg (sternal wounds) or 125mmHg.
•NPWT administered at 50 mmHg was just as effective as 100 or 125 mmHg in the treatment of pediatric wounds.
•The lower pressure ( 50mmHg) can be administered in infants and children without any loss of efficacy although there were very few complications with either pressure.

Sponges• To avoid adherence to exposed organs:
- White sponges (impregnated with saline, smaller pores)
- Black sponges with non-adherent contact dressing layer
- Frequent sponge changes
• Attach tubing to suction -50 to -125mmHg
• Continuous mode for open sternum
