ABSTRACT

Introduction: calcium gluconate extravasation burns can cause serious complications. The aim of this article is to describe our experience of treating newborns with this type of burn. Cases presentation: we present three neonates with severe burns due to calcium gluconate extravasation. In all three, management consisted of the use of a hydrocolloid patch, surgical debridement, and placement of a hydrofiber dressing with silver, until healing was complete by secondary intention. With this treatment, the patients achieved their recovery in approximately one month. Conclusions: patients with burns due to calcium gluconate extravasation require timely treatment; the staged management that we have described appears to be effective.
