[Research progresses on acute skin failure in children].

Acute skin failure (ASF) is an inevitable damage to the skin and subcutaneous tissue caused by hemodynamic instability and/or low perfusion. At present, there are some understandings and reports about adult ASF at home and abroad, but there are few reports about children's ASF. This article reviewed the definition, pathophysiological changes, risk factors, clinical manifestations, and management of children's ASF, and put forward suggestions in order to provide ideas for clinical diagnosis and treatment of children's ASF, and promote the further study of children's ASF.
