What this trial studies

This observational study aims to evaluate the effects of traditional bathing versus wipe bathing on vital signs and comfort levels in children hospitalized in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. The study will measure physiological parameters such as respiratory rate, pulse rate, and oxygen saturation before and after each bathing method. Children will not be randomized, and all bathing procedures will be conducted by a specialist nurse to maintain consistency. The study is designed to be completed within six months following ethics committee approval.
