“…Irrigation with hypochlorous acid into the chest cavity was previously described utilizing EUSOL, a basic, hypochlorous acid containing irrigating solution during the beginning of the 20 th century [Lyndon Smith] and during the First World War [Frazier and Bates] [23] [24]. Recently, Fernandez used a hypochlorous acid cleanser to lavage a pericardium during a massive chest trauma after multiple stab wounds to the anterior torso and subsequent cardiac apices with no clinical sequalae [25].…”

Utilization of negative pressure wound therapy with instillation (NPWTi) for sternal dehiscence wounds secondary to sternal wound infection after surgery has become an accepted therapy. NPWTi accelerates wound healing through macrostrain, microstrain, and cyclic fluid instillation. Wounds benefit from additional superficial infection control with the removal of microorganisms, the release of proinflammatory mediators, stimulation of angiogenesis, as well as mechanical debridement. However, very few cases of utilizing NPWTi in the treatment of sternal wound infections have been reported in the literature. This case study describes the use of NPWTi with hypochlorous acid for the treatment of a sternal wound infection.
