PURPOSE: To evaluate an evidence-based wound protocol for intravenous extravasation injuries in neonates. SAMPLE: Nine newborns with intravenous extravasation injuries. Birth weight: 582-4,404 gm, gestational age: 24-40 weeks. RESULTS: Five Wounds were colonized with coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species, two with diphtheroids, three with Enterococcus.
