Pressure ulcer is a local damage to the skin or subcutaneous tissue, caused by parts of the body that are in direct contact with the surface. It most often occurs in the lumbar region, on the hips, heels, nape of the neck, elbows, shoulders. Pressure ulcers are not only a problem of the adult population but also of children of different ages. In intensive care units for children particularly at risk are newborns, nurslings, young children and adolescents who suffers from damage to the integrity of the skin and mucous membranes due to the use of medical devices. Children who receive oxygen through masks, nasal catheters, or respirators are at high risk for developing pressure ulcers. Tracheostomes, tubes, percutaneous gastrostomes, oxygen concentration sensors, drains, various probes, catheters, cannulas and electrodes are devices necessary in treatment and can cause damage. Children with neurosurgical injuries, unstable, vitally endangered patients should not move, do not tolerate changes in position. For this reason, they have a high risk of developing pressure ulcers. For prevention purposes, good assessment, monitoring and teamwork are important. Nurse who cares for the patient, working with other team members and parents has a major role. Pressure ulcers in children is a complication that is little written and researched. Most data are based on the occurrence of pressure ulcers in adults. Through this review, I would like to contribute to this important topic and present some examples from practice.
