6.BRIEF RESUME OF THE INTENDED WORK
6.1. INTRODUCTION:
“Infiltration and extravasations are complications that can occur during intravenous
therapy administered via either peripheral or central venous access devices. Both can
result in problems with the sifting of future venous access devices, nerve damage,
infection and tissue necrosis. Extravasations injuries occur as a result of leakage of Intra
Venous (I.V) fluid from a vein into the surrounding tissue. Extravasations is defined as
the leakage of solutions from the vein. This may cause damage to surrounding tissue
during intravenous fluid administration, newborn and infant are the one, most common
occurring extravasations complication.
The pediatric patient is at greater risk for potential complication related to IV
therapy and should be monitored at least every 2 hourly and more frequently, depending
on the patients age and size, or type of therapy. When an infant infiltration or
extravasation is present, the infusion slows or stops, and child usually complains of
tenderness or pain at the site. The infant or younger child however may not be specific in
identifying their pain, therefore the only visible sign of discomfort may be generalized
crying and irritability. The nurse must remove all the tape used to secure the site and
visually evaluate and touch the skin in order to assess for redness, drainage ,hardness, or
inflammation.1
In 2006 the Infusion Nurses Society's national standards of practice require that a
nurse who administers IV medication or fluid know its adverse effects and appropriate
interventions to take before starting the infusion. A serious complication is the inadvertent
administration of a solution into the tissue surrounding the IV catheter. Both infiltration
and extravasation can have serious consequences: the patient may need surgical
intervention resulting in large scars, experience limitation of function, or even require
amputation. These outcomes can be prevented by using appropriate nursing interventions
during IV catheter insertion and early recognition and intervention upon the first signs and
3
symptoms of infiltration and extravasation. Nursing interventions include early
recognition, prevention, and treatment. 2
Extravasations or inadvertent infiltration of fluids into subcutaneous tissue from
peripheral intravenous (IV) devices is a common adverse event in newborns. Although
fluids occasionally extravasate from central venous lines, the complication is much more
common from peripheral catheters, which are used widely in sick neonates. Injury to the
skin, even in a very immature neonate, results in inflammatory response and heals by
scar formation. Tissue necrosis from extravasations injury could result in partial or
complete skin loss, infection, and nerve and tendon damage, with the potential risk of
permanent cosmetic and functional impairment.3
Extravation of IV Fluids into the subcutaneous tissues is a common occurrence.
Reports estimate that up to 11% of children
receiving intravenous fluids occuring
extravasation. In such cases the effects are mild and resolve spontaneous, but in a few
serious complication may develop. These include full thickness skin loss and muscle and
tendon necrosis leading to permanent disability.4
Sick and preterm neonates are particularly vulnerable to extravasation injury but
many of these injuries could be prevented if a 'hyper-vigilant' approach to monitoring of
the intravenous access is adopted. A number of barriers exist that may prevent rigorous
and continuous monitoring of intravenous access sites in neonatal units. Several themes
were identified in the literature as supporting quality nursing practice in this area,
including: staffing and skill mix, preceptorship of newly qualified staff, continuing
professional development, record keeping and communication. These themes are explored
and recommendations made to help reduce the incidence of extravasation injury.5
An Experimental Study to evaluate an evidence-based wound protocol for
intravenous extravasation injuries in neonates. Among 10 neonate, Nine newborns with
intravenous extravasations injuries. Birth weight: 582–4,404 gm, gestational age: 24–40
weeks. Five wounds were colonized with coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species, two
with diphtheroids, three with Enterococcus. Rates of wound healing ranged from one to
six weeks.6
4
Peripheral intravenous fluid extravasation is a common occurrence among neonatal
intensive care unit patients. Fifteen high-risk neonates, averaging less than 35 weeks'
gestation and less than 1,500 g birth weight, with full-thickness extravasation injuries
were successfully treated non-operatively by a topical fibrinolysin/deoxyribonuclease
ointment. All wounds healed without delaying hospital discharge, and no significant scar
contractures -were observed in patients followed up to 16 months after injury.7
On an annual of emergency report
cases of severe complications from
intraosseous infusions. One child was a sudden infant death syndrome patient who
developed severe tissue necrosis after intraosseous placement. The second child was a
near drowning who developed a compartment syndrome requiring fasciotomy.
Extravasation is a potentially major complication that resulted in these limb-threatening
events. Intraosseous infusion remains an important resuscitation modality, but great care
must be taken to avoid these results. Strategies for avoiding extravasation are discussed.8
“Extravasation is the complication that can occur during intravenous therapy.. The
nurse is the key to reducing the risk of extravasation, through her knowledge and skill in
cannulation and the intravenous administration of drugs. The nurse must also be able to
recognize the early signs and symptoms of extravasation and act promptly and effectively
to limit tissue damage. Finally, accurate documentation of the event is vital to facilitate
patient care and in case of litigation.9

6.2 NEED FOR THE STUDY:
Extravasation occur as a result of inadvertent leakage of vesicant fluid from a vein
or cannula into the surrounding soft tissue . The reported incidence of extravasation injury
in neonates and children is 0.1% to15% and occurs most frequently in neonates of less
than 26-27 weeks’ gestation given the fragility and small caliber of the peripheral veins.
To prevent and manage this type of skin injury, experts recommend using sterile
transparent dressings to secure intravenous lines to allow for at least hourly site
inspections. If necrotic tissue is present, surgical consultation should be obtained, coupled
with use of autolytic debridement.10
Children's and Women's Services, University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics,
Children's Hospital of Iowa, Iowa City, USA. Provides a guidelines for iv. infiltrations in
pediatric patients. A large Midwestern tertiary care center used a multidisciplinary
approach to develop an intravenous infiltration/extravasation guideline for pediatric
patients, ages 0-18 years old, using the Iowa Model for research utilization. This
infiltration clinical practice guideline included a site appearance staging tool, decision
algorithm, research-based antidotes, and standard of care. The goal of the guideline was to
prevent or minimize adverse occurrences for paediatric patients at risk for intravenous
infiltrations. Quality assessment and improvement tracking suggested that there was an
increased consistency in use of practice guideline interventions for and reporting of the
infiltration event, a reduction in adverse patient outcomes and potential cost savings.11
In 2004 a survey conducted at United Kingdom, on Extravasation injuries on
regional neonatal intensive care units, reported the incidence of extravasation injury
resulting in skin necrosis to be approximately 4%, determined a prevalence of 38 per 1000
neonates who sustained an extravasation injury that caused skin necrosis. Most injuries
occurred in infants of 26 weeks gestation or less, with parenteral nutrition infused through
intravenous cannulae. Common treatments were exposing wounds to the air, infiltration
with hyaluronidase and saline, and occlusive dressings. 12
6
Intravenously administered drugs with potentially devastating consequences
should be given only by personnel highly knowledgeable regarding the side effects and
skilled in intravenous cannulation. A strict protocol should be followed. The earliest signs
heralding extravasation should be recognized and infusion discontinued immediately. If
extravasation occurs, prompt surgical consultation is necessary. Injection into the volar
wrist, dorsum of the hand, and antecubital fossa should always be avoided. 13
Extravascular escape of intravenously administered phenytoin can result in serious
local soft tissue complications. Injury can range from simple phlebitis to chemical
cellulitis or, in extreme cases, frank tissue necrosis that necessitates amputation. The
histopathologic findings include extensive necrosis and sloughing of epidermis,
widespread necrosis of dermis, subcutaneous tissue, muscles and nerves, and extensive
thrombotic occlusion of vessel lumens. Results of elastic tissue stains reveal that the
thrombosed vessels are exclusively veins and venules. 14
A case of cutaneous bullous eruptions in the hand resulting from extravasation of
mannitol infusion was reported., In which it caused swelling and multiple cutaneous
bullous eruptions in the hand and forearm . The possible mechanisms relevant to
extravasation and its tissue damage are prevent by Selecting proper intravenous infusion
site, using pliable catheters and frequent inspection are important steps for prevention of
extravasation.15
Peripheral intravenous infusion of fluids and drugs is daily routine in hospitals.
Extravasation of intravenously infused agents is one of the iatrogenic complications
frequently encountered in hospital. It is found that 1,800 extravasations out of 16,380
administrations of intravenous fluid (11%) in children.1 Most of these extravasations
cause no serious injury and require no treatment. But some severer extravasation accidents
will cause injuries including soft-tissue necrosis. Agents that may cause tissue necrosis
include chemotherapeutic drugs, hyperalimentation preparations, intralipid, 10% dextrose,
dopamine, various antibiotics including chloramphenicol, cephalothin, gentamycin,
oxacillin, and nafcillin.15
7
A descriptive study on a variety of preventative measures and administration of
antidotes or other emergency treatment techniques, intravenous (IV) extravasation
produces serious wounding and may lead to permanent long-term damage. Extravasation
of IV fluids in the subcutaneous space may lead to blistering, necrosis, and damage to the
underlying structures. Preterm newborns are at increased risk for extensive wounding
owing to fragile vessels, thin epidermis, and limited subcutaneous tissue overriding
common sites for placement of peripheral IV cannulas. When prevention techniques fail,
immediate recognition of the extravasation, prompt intervention, and initiation of wound
care are important nursing interventions to limit tissue damage. A review of the current
evidence regarding immediate care of IV extravasations and subsequent wound care is
presented and highlights the need for scientific research to guide practice.16
From above findings of literature, the researcher realized that the nurses should
have adequate knowledge regarding the I.V. infusion and their Prevention and
Management of Extravasation so that this will reduce the evidence of deformity due to the
leakage of fluid from the vein or the cannula.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE:
A review of literature related research and theory on a topic has become a standard
and virtually essential activity of scientific research projects “Literature review is a critical
summary of research on a topic of interest, often prepared to put a research problem in
contact or as the basis for an implementation project .”Review of literature
was
undertaken to gain in depth knowledge on various aspect of the problem under this study.
In this study the relevant literature reviewed has been organized and presented under the
following headings:
* Literature related to Management of Extravasation due to I.V. Fliud administration.
* Literature related to Prevention of Extravasation from I.V. Fluid administration
* Literature related to complication related to I.V. Fluid administration.
11
Literature related to Management of Extravasation due to I.V. Fliud administration.
A comparative study was conducted on 10 premature infant in that five premature
infants with wounds of
hyperalimentation fluid extravasation managed by the
antibacterial ointment (Terramycin ophthalmic ointment) and sesame oil and a anti
inflammatory herbal mixture. The method of dressing was application of a thick layer of
this mixture covered by vaseline and wet gauze renewed at an interval of 8-12 hr after
irrigating the wounds thoroughly with normal saline. 30 days dressing done. The wounds
had healed completely. They conclude that this therapy may be considered for an
alternative treatment and warrants clinical trials for the confirmation of the local
management of extravasation injury.17
A retrospective review on management of Extravasation at Australian hospital.
Various agents include calcium, potassium, bicarbonate, hypertonic dextrose, cytotoxic
drugs and antibiotics, causing tissue necrosis after intravenous infusions have
extravasated. Age ranged from 17 days to 60 years. Two patients received their injuries
from solutions containing isotonic dextrose/saline. The other seven patients received
injuries from a variety of solutions including calcium gluconate (1), parenteral nutrition
(1), sodium bicarbonate (1), immunoglobulin (1), gentamicin and penicillin(1),
flucloxacillin (1), and the chemotherapeutic agents epirubicin and cyclophosphamide (1).
Four patients were managed by delayed debridement and split skin grafting, while five
were treated non-operatively. Management of extravasation injuries should be
conservative if possible. Prevention of these injuries with the education of both medical
and nursing staff remains the ultimate aim.18
A comprehensive review of clinical treatments of Anthracycline extravasation
was done on extravasation of antineoplastic agents, In his experience using local clysis
with a saline-hyaluronidase solution for treatment of 148 extravasations, 80% of which
were from doxorubicin, and no other details were given. Patients were only treated if seen
within the first hour after extravasation. Twelve to thirty-eight ml of a 150 units per 1,000
ml saline was used. The extremity was then elevated and observed without further
12
treatment. None of the patients suffered full thickness skin loss or permanent loss of
motion of any joint. None required skin grafting. A benefit of hyaluronidase-saline clysis
has not been documented. 19
A Descriptive Study was done to evaluate the time and type of treatment following
extravasation from intravenous infusion and the sequelae of the injuries. The study was
done at hospital with 12 patients and the period of study was between May 2003 and
January 2007. Immediate treatment following extravasation and discontinuation of the
infusion was done. Eleven patients developed skin necrosis of varying severities.
Morbidity is increased by delay in recognition and treatment of the extravasation. A
protocol for the treatment of extravasation is recommended.20
An Experimental study on Emergency treatment of accidental infusion leakage in
the newborn. In this Infusion leakage in the paediatric population of the intensive-care
unit is known to cause skin necrosis and significant scarring around tendons, nerves and
joints, extending the length of hospital stay. A series of report of 14 newborn children
affected by accidental infusion leakage, and their early treatment with Gault's procedure:
saline flushout and liposuction. The results were good: no skin impairment in 11 cases and
3 cases of skin necrosis healed spontaneously. Recommended Early treatment of toxic
infusion to avoid skin necrosis at the site of extravasation and should be employed as
early as possible in order to dilute and remove the toxin from the subcutaneous tissue.21
A Retrospective Study was done on Extravasational side effects of cytotoxic
drugs,12 patients with extravasation of cytotoxic drugs. Study was done in the department
of plastic surgery of a medical college. We managed 12 cases referred to our department
with extravasation of cytotoxic drugs. Mitomycin C was used in seven cases (58.33%),
vincristine in two cases (16.66%), 5-Florouracil in another two cases while doxorubicin
was responsible for extravasational side effects in one case (8.33%). The size of necrosis
ranged from 3.75 cm(2) to 25 cm(2) with average size of 9.6 cm(2). In terms of the area
involved, the dorsum of the hand was involved in five cases (41.66%), the wrist in another
five cases (41.66%), and the cubital fossa in the remaining two cases (16.66%). All cases
were treated with daily debridement of necrotic tissue, saline dressing, and split skin
13
grafting. Extravasation of cytotoxic drugs further increases the suffering of cancer
patients. This catastrophe can only be avoided by vigilance and immediate application of
antidotes.22
Literature related to Prevention of Extravasation from I.V. Fluid administration.
An update on prevention and management on Infiltration and extravasation. They
are risks of intravenous administration therapy involving unintended leakage of solution
into the surrounding tissue. Consequences range from local irritation to amputation. While
immediate action using appropriate measures can decrease the need for surgical
intervention, many injuries may be prevented by following established policy and
procedures. However, timely surgical intervention, when necessary, can prevent more
serious adverse outcomes. Clinicians should be prepared to act promptly when an event
occurs. Thorough incident documentation helps determine whether infusion care meets the
standard of practice and is a keystone to medico legal defense.23
Literature related to complication related to I.V. Fluid administration.
A Study report describes an unusual presentation and complication of extravasation
of intravenous fluid in an infant who presented with a large hypopigmented skin lesion
distant from the site of intravenous cannulation. The infusion was immediately
discontinued and an alternate intravenous site secured. A chest radiograph revealed that
the catheter was not in the external jugular vein site, and a large fluid collection was
apparent over the right lateral chest wall. The hypopigmented skin lesion disappeared
within 48 h, and the infant remained stable. This article serves to alert the physician to
consider the extravasation of intravenous fluid as a potential cause of acute development
of skin hypopigmentation in an at-risk patient. 24
A Retrospective chart review was done to identify variables associated with
extravasation and resulting tissue damage in neonates with peripheral intravascular
therapy.25 neonates were the sample and in between 2003-2004 study has done. Charts of
14
15 female and 10 male infants, were reviewed. As a result extravasation was not
significantly related to age, weight, or sex. The most common intravenous medications
were total parenteral nutrition (19) and calcium (18). The sites of the infiltrate were the
arm 16, foot 5, and scalp 3 .Stages 0 (absence of redness, pain, swelling; & flushes)11 and
4 (severe swelling; blanching, pain, skin breakdown, etc.) 6 were the most common
stages. The site of the infiltrate was measured and care described in only 9 neonates.2
A Closed Claims Analysis was done to assess liability associated with peripheral
vascular catheters. Serious complications after peripheral IV and arterial vascular
cannulations. Complications related to IV catheters were categorized as to type of
complication.
The
most
common
complications
were
skin
slough
(28%),
swelling/infection (17%), nerve damage (17%), fasciotomy scars (16%), and air embolism
(8%). Approximately half of these complications (55%) occurred after extravasation of
drugs or fluids. Compared with other claims, IV claims involved a larger proportion of
cardiac surgery (25% vs 2% for other, P < 0.001) and smaller proportion of emergency
procedures (8% vs 22% for other, P < 0.001),which resulted from extravasation of drugs
or fluid.26
A study was done to assess the
Intra-abdominal extravasation complicating
parenteral nutrition in infants. Two infants receiving total parenteral nutrition via a central
venous catheter positioned in the inferior vena cava developed an acute abdomen
secondary to extravasation of the infusate. The presence of an associated abdominal mass
necessitated a laparotomy in one patient. Both infants recovered completely after the
catheter had been removed. 27
A descriptive study on peripheral intravenous extravasation. Tissue extravasation
resulting from (IV) infiltration can occur as a complication of neonatal intensive care with
varying degrees of morbidity. Serious extravasation can result in pain, infection,
disfigurement, prolonged hospitalization, increased hospital costs, and possible litigation.
Although most infiltrates resolve spontaneously after the IV catheter is removed, IV
extravasations and tissue sloughing do occur in NICU patients. The goal in managing
tissue damage after IV extravasation is to improve tissue perfusion and prevent
15
progression of tissue necrosis. This article presents an initial approach to nursing care for
peripheral IV infiltrations to guide clinicians in management of this complication.28
A Prospective Controlled Study to assesses the improvement in outcome for
newborn infants by decreasing major complications associated with intravenous fluid
therapy by using an in-line filter, of iv. lines. In this 88 infants were randomly assigned to
receive either filtered or non-filtered infusions via a central catheter. Main outcome
measures such as bacteraemia, phlebitis, extravasation, thrombosis, septicaemia and
necrosis were all scored. Bacterial cultures of the filters showed a contamination rate on
the upstream surface of 15/109 filters (14%). The mean costs of disposables were less in
the filter group, showing a reduction from ±31.17 to ±23.79. The use of this in-line filter
leads to a significant decrease in major complications and subst antial cost savings.29

10. Remarks of the guide
: Since infants are more prone to develop venous
infiltration
during
the
I.V

proper
observation by the staff nurses is mandatory to
prevent complication like necrosis and nerve
damage. This study is appropriate to update the
nurse’s knowledge and the effort taken by the
investigator can be encouraged.
