Question
Does the Intensive Care Unit qualify as top-level nursing? Before the child entered the Intensive Care Unit, we had already taken good care of the surgical incision and fistula. However, after the child left the ICU, both the incision and fistula had changed like this.
Answer
The Intensive Care Unit provides a relatively sterile environment, both in terms of the environment and facilities, which is superior to that of a general ward. However, due to the lack of information on the type of surgery, some surgeries may lead to incision infections. In such cases, frequent dressing changes are required, and the wound will eventually scab over.
