title: Antineoplastic vesicant extravasation.
abstract: The administration of antineoplastic drugs is an almost-daily responsibility of the I.V. nurse, and the possibility of extravasation is ever-present. The nurse's thorough knowledge of these drugs, including their actions, side effects, and the appropriate interventions in the event of an extravasation, is essential to providing optimal I.V. care to patients. This article is based on the extravasation management policies and procedures of Spartanburg Regional Medical Center, Spartanburg, S.C.
