The median age of our patients was 12 days (range, 2 days to 5 weeks); their mean gestational age was 34 weeks. All of the neonates had acquired postoperative wound dehiscence that were colonized or infected and were treated in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Cohen Children's Medical Center (New Hyde Park, New York), a regional perinatal center with a level 4 NICU.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n METHODS:<\/jats:title>\n Wound cultures were obtained on all patients prior to treatment commencement. All cultures were repeated on day 4 of treatment. Systemic antibiotics were administered as necessary. No complications were observed related to the use of negative pressure wound therapy device and ALH. All patients were followed until discharge home or transfer to another facility. The pain scores during placement and removal were acceptable (between 1 and 3; median = 2) using the Neonatal Infant Pain Scale. Staff and parents indicated that the combination of ALH and the negative pressure wound therapy device did not interfere with daily care and parental bonding.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:title>\n Use of ALH and a single-use negative pressure wound therapy device was successful in this series of 11 neonates with complex congenital heart disease.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1097\/won.0000000000000407","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,8]],"date-time":"2018-03-08T11:54:16Z","timestamp":1520510056000},"page":"117-122","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Treatment of Dehisced, Thoracic Neonatal Wounds With Single-Use Negative Pressure Wound Therapy Device and Medical-Grade Honey"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"45","author":[{"given":"Vita","family":"Boyar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Vita Boyar, MD,Division of Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, Cohen Children's Medical Center of New York, New Hyde Park, New York; and Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine, Hempstead, New York."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"issue":"25","key":"R1-20230826","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2716","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCULATIONAHA.116.023544","article-title":"Trends in congenital heart disease: the next decade","volume":"133","author":"Triedman","year":"2016","journal-title":"Circulation"},{"key":"R2-20230826","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1027","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCRESAHA.117.309186","article-title":"Congenital Heart Disease Compendium.
