“…One of these is extravasation and infiltration damage, which occurs when IV-administered drugs or substances escape from the venous system and leak into the surrounding tissue, an important cause of morbidity in hospitalized patients [ 1 , 4 ]. In the emergency medicine literature on these injuries, vasopressor agents [ 1 , 4 ], high-concentration dextrose solutions [ 3 , 6 , 7 ], radiographic contrast agents [ 2 , 8 , 9 ], peripheral parenteral nutrition [ 10 ], antiarrhythmic and sedative-hypnotics [ 11 , 12 ], and antibiotics [ 1 , 4 ] have been implicated and frequently reported. There have not been any adult cases reported in the literature regarding extravasation injuries and compartment syndrome associated with the use of IV furosemide.…”
