Abstract

This article is based on brief recent revision of the scientific literature about the care with the skin of the newborn. The text deals with the anatomo-physiology aspects of the skin culminating with the specific care of the skin of newborn in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Considering the highest risk of the pre-term newborn to acquire infections, a special nursing care is proposed regarding the skin function as a protective barrier of the organism.
