[Adapting technical care to EBH patients]

Abstract

The skin of patients with hereditary epidermolysis bullosa (HEB) is extremely fragile. When providing care, nurses must be extremely vigilant to avoid inducing lesions. Whether inserting a peripheral venous line, taking blood pressure or monitoring the patient, nurses are likely to injure the patient's skin by compressing it, rubbing it, applying dressings and so on. It is therefore essential that they adapt this care to the person suffering from HEB.
