Objective: To improve the curing rate of neonatal phlegmona and explore a new nursing method to accelerate the healing of wound, decrease the complications and shorten the mean duration in hospital .

Methods: clinical data from 1993-2000 of 53 patients with neonatal phlegmona were retrospectively analysed, 23 of them were from 1997-2000(group A). All the patients were received multi-incision drainage, 1/5000 bromo-geramine bathing, infrared ray radiation, antibiotic treatment and nutritional support. In group A 23 patients were exposed on radiational table at 30~33, local insufflation of antibiotics(Amikacin Liquor) and basic fibroblastic growth factor alternately, 3~4 times per day; while the 30 patients from 1993-1996( group B), the incision were covered by sterile gauze after infrared ray radiation.

Results: There is no significant difference in sex, age, necrotic area and necrotic position between the two groups (P>0.05). The curing rate in group A(86.9%) is significantly higher than that of  group B(40%), P<0.01. the average time for healing was decreased for 5 days .

Conclusion: The exposure method combined with local therapy is superior to conventional nursing method.
