Use of hydrocolloid dressing in infants requiring open chest management after cardiac surgery
Abstract Purpose Sternal splintage is known as an effective maneuver to stabilize hemodynamics during the immediate postoperative period, particularly in very sick infants. On the other hand, its wound management is not always straightforward. We employed dressing using a product made of a hydrocoll...
