Case Series of Neonatal Extravasation Injury: Importance of Early Identification and Management

Extravasation injury is a common iatrogenic injury, especially in neonates. Intravenous access is essential in neonatal care, but neonatal extravasation injury is associated with severe morbidity. We present three cases of neonatal extravasation injuries with varying presentations, etiological agent...

description Extravasation injury is a common iatrogenic injury, especially in neonates. Intravenous access is essential in neonatal care, but neonatal extravasation injury is associated with severe morbidity. We present three cases of neonatal extravasation injuries with varying presentations, etiological agents, and timing of management. It shows that extravasation injuries treated with the saline flush-out technique and timely intervention have a superior outcome with almost immediate resolution and subsequent healing with no scars. This is in stark contrast with the lesions treated conservatively with dressings that took more time to heal. We are reminded to be vigilant with infusion therapies and the importance of early detection and prompt treatment in neonatal extravasation injuries.
