Question
What is the most common cause of pressure injuries in paediatric population
Solution
La causa más común de las lesiones por presión en la población pediátrica es la inmovilización prolongada. Esto puede ocurrir en niños que están hospitalizados por largos periodos, especialmente aquellos que requieren el uso de dispositivos médicos como ventiladores, sondas o yesos. La presión constante sobre ciertas áreas del cuerpo, combinada con la fragilidad de la piel de los niños, puede llevar al desarrollo de estas lesiones.
