Patients with spina bifida (SB) are highly susceptible to pressure injuries (PIs) due to limited mobility and sensory deficits, and they may occur during multiple surgical procedures. The article highlights that PIs, which significantly increase hospital costs and extend patient stays, can be prevented mainly through evidence-based interventions. One of the critical technologies used at this stage is pressure mapping to monitor and optimize pressure distribution on surfaces, whether lying or seated, particularly during prolonged medical procedures. Additionally, the article emphasizes the importance of educating families and caregivers about early signs of PIs, photography, using electronic health records for tracking, and effective home care strategies to prevent these injuries post-discharge. Future research should investigate how to enhance prevention methods in hospital settings, especially for patients undergoing surgeries or other lengthy procedures. Overall, the article underscores the critical role of early identification of risk, intervention, and technological support in reducing the incidence and impact of PIs in patients with SB.
