Assessment of reducing the humidity of the incubator to improve the skin of premature infants with surgical wound
This study support the safety and efficacy of reducing the humidity of the incubator on the skin and surgical wound healing of preterm infants after surgery. Reducing humidity not only helps to reduce the skin bacterial load and the risk of incision infection, but may also promote wound healing. It is recommended to consider adjusting the humidity settings of the incubator in the care of postoperative preterm infants to optimize their postoperative recovery environment.
