Management of nonchemotherapy medication extravasation – Full Text

"The frequency of extravasation in adults is between 0.1% and 6%.2 Some suggest the incidence is decreasing thanks to improved infusion procedure, early recognition of drug leakage, and training" Tarpey et al (2023).

Management of nonchemotherapy medication extravasation

Extract:

“The frequency of extravasation in adults is between 0.1% and 6%.2 Some suggest the incidence is decreasing thanks to improved infusion procedure, early recognition of drug leakage, and training.

The consequences of fluid leakage from a vessel into surrounding tissue vary depending on the agent being dispensed. Awareness of these agents and their potential consequences will enhance the likelihood of prompt recognition and treatment.”
