extravasation is an error but not always due to incompetence on behalf of the caregiver. Not recognizing the signs is negligent. Extravasation sucks and causes pain but I wouldn't run to a lawyer to file a suit unless you've had serious complications (amputation ect.). IV insertion can be difficult depending on the patient, every patient is different and if your caregiver is struggling they should be asking for more assistance.
I wish all docs who order vessicant antibiotics, antineoplastic drugs, etc. would ensure they have central access or an order for picc placement. Because what ends up happening is they get it through their PIV and need 2 new IVs to finish the course of the med because the other one went bad and they don't have central access. This happens a lot to younger patients because their veins are "good" enough to withstand a peripheral vessicant.
I found your video to have great information that I needed for the 9 out of 10 pain caused when an IV extravasation happened to me. It has taken a month of searching to find out why I was in so much pain that I thought I would die. I think I passed out from the pain, not the anaesthesia. I have looked at the website you recommended but could find no information on extravasation at all, which is very disappointing, but I am grateful for your video.
Welcome to America, where everyone is so sue happy, that quality medical professionals leave the profession because a lovely American finds a reason to sue them and ruin both their life and career, sometimes over fragile errors.
Um you never put medications directly into an artery...ever. I question the integrity of this "doctor" pharmacist. And a PICC line terminates in the superior vena cava (vein).
My arm swelled up from a improperly placed iv by a fireman in training in a hospital. I was a guinea pig for their training. Then my arm swelled up with ct dye. Causing pain and swelling, burning coldness in hand after the procedure. My arm is swollen up
This happened to me the OTHER day when I was getting a CT SCAN with radiation die soon as they started it my full arm Almost exploded my wrist bent in the way the pain was horrible
They give phentolamine at the injection site to prevent tissue necrosis. A pharmacist is not a doctor. There is a reason this lawyer chose to interview a pharmacist who is not trained nor competent at placing an IV and delivering medication. He only prepares it behind a counter.

Can these take more than 2 months to heal on their own? Mine is grade 1 as there is no swelling.

Central lines and PICCs are venous not placed in the arteries. Arterial lines are a different thing. Good info though!
What to do if this this occurs??
