Is there an error in the patient age or diagnosis? I can count on one hand the number of 3 year olds I have cared for in a NICU and collodion babies shed their initial dermatological findings in 1-3 weeks depending on etiology (at which time fluid management is much easier).

siragsabea Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 These cases need enough hydration and well humidification . We can determine our success by measuring levels of electrolytes and aldosterone. Locally we should use emollients e.g. Olive oil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
