Point-of-care Ultrasound for the Management of Vesicant Extravasation

Case seriesquantification, characteristics of injected vesicant extravasation, and monitoring therapeutic response to lignocaine patch therapy.Written and informed consent for publication was taken from the patients. Case DesCriptionHere, we are going to report the applicability of POCUS quantification of vesicant extravasation and monitoring of therapeutic response to lignocaine patch in five patients who developed significant soft tissue swelling after extravasation of injected fluid.In cases 1 and 3, there occurs extravasation of a mixture of two and three drugs, respectively.Serial thickness measurements of skin, subcutaneous tissue, and extravesicant were done at 12, 24, and 36 hours.After baseline measurements

Abstract

Case seriesquantification, characteristics of injected vesicant extravasation, and monitoring therapeutic response to lignocaine patch therapy.Written and informed consent for publication was taken from the patients. Case DesCriptionHere, we are going to report the applicability of POCUS quantification of vesicant extravasation and monitoring of therapeutic response to lignocaine patch in five patients who developed significant soft tissue swelling after extravasation of injected fluid.In cases 1 and 3, there occurs extravasation of a mixture of two and three drugs, respectively.Serial thickness measurements of skin, subcutaneous tissue, and extravesicant were done at 12, 24, and 36 hours.After baseline measurements
