Infiltration and Extravasation: Prevention, Assessment, and Interventions

The inadvertent administration of a solution, nonvesicant (infiltration) or vesicant (extravasation), into surrounding tissue can cause significant patient harm. Despite adherence to policies and procedures for vascular access device (VAD) insertion and care and management during infusion therapy, an infiltration or extravasation may occur. In this session, educational content addresses prevention, assessment, and interventions for infiltration and extravasation.
