GRABOIS, Florencia S et al. Use of sterile petrolatum for extravasation injury in a premature infant. Arch. argent. pediatr. [online]. 2008, vol.106, n.6, pp.533-535. ISSN 0325-0075.

The skin of premature infants is an ineffective barrier. The stratum corneum is thinner than that found in full-term infants. We report on a premature patient with extravasation injury from sodium bicarbonate. Daily treatment with sterile petrolatum resulted in restitutio ad integrum.
