This research aimed to explore its role in decision making about skin-sparing in children's acute trauma.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 19 patients suffering with acute trauma from January 2019 to September 2021 were retrospectively assessed. Both ICG angiography and clinical judgment were performed to evaluate skin tissue viability. The intraoperative decisions for each case depended on the specific condition of the traumatic wound, including tissue perfusion, skin defect area, and location of the wound. Postoperative vascular imaging software was used to quantify the tissue perfusion, and the duration of postoperative follow-up was from 6 to 18 months.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Among them, 18 (94.7%) patients experienced treatments according to ICG angiography and did not develop postoperative necrosis. One case with right forearm trauma suffered from partial necrosis. Hypertrophic scar and local infection were the independent complications, which were managed by symptomatic treatment.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>ICG angiography may reduce the risk of postoperative necrosis and renders a promising adjunctive technique for surgeons to make reasonable decisions in skin sparing in acute pediatric trauma.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fped.2022.851270","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,15]],"date-time":"2022-03-15T05:58:20Z","timestamp":1647323900000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["The Role of ICG Angiography in Decision Making About Skin-Sparing in Pediatric Acute Trauma"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Tao","family":"Han","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Buhao","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Weidong","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jie","family":"Cui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Weimin","family":"Shen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"449","DOI":"10.1007\/s40257-013-0046-4","article-title":"Wound dressings: selecting the most appropriate type","volume":"14","author":"Broussard","year":"2013","journal-title":"Am J Clin Dermatol."},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"333","DOI":"10.1111\/edt.12482","article-title":"Diagnosis and management of transverse root fractures","volume":"35","author":"Abbott","year":"2019","journal-title":"Dent Traumatol."},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1150","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bjps.2019.03.014","article-title":"Flap warming improves intraoperative indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) assessment of perfusion.
