Abstract
Objective: Determine what types of MASD there are, as identify and appraise them; as well as to know what the best clinical practice is and care to prevent and treat it. Methods: Descriptive observational study of bibliographic review. Critical reading through the nominal group technique and review of consensus by expert panel. Results: The MASD are the result of a multicausal model caused by 3 determinants (excess moisture, physical irritation and chemical irritation on the skin). We identified 6 types of MASD, being the Visual Scale of erythema and the subscale of the humidity of Braden the most used for its gradation and assessment of risk. Recommendations on its prevention and treatment are directed toward a proper care and hygiene of the skin, the use of barrier creams, professional training and health education of the patient and family. Conclusions: We must start to take conscience of the MASD (opposed to other type of injury), in order to standardize processes and care, in or der to standardize processes and care, in search of increase the visibility of the problem and its valuation approach and integrated management.
