IV Infiltration/Burns
IV infiltration is a serious problem associated with infusion therapy. It is usually accompanied by pain, erythema, and swelling at the needle insertion site. Severe infiltration may lead to necrosis requiring skin debridement, skin grafting, and/or amputation
When the IV fluid intended for the vein goes into the surrounding tissues it causes chemical burns, antibiotic reactions, permanent scarring, painful circulatory impairment, and diminished sense of touch. The acceptable risk of harm deteriorates after the IV is neglected for a period of time amounting to a claim of malpractice.
Infiltration is defined as the unplanned administration of a nonvesicant solution/medication into a surrounding tissue; the situation in which the IV access device pulls out of the vein/piercing the vein; or the diffusion or accumulation in a tissue or cells of substances not normal to it or in an amount in excess of normal.
IV infiltrations can be reduced by proper care and monitoring. Proper training of the hospital staff can also help reduce the chances of IV infiltrations.
