title: A pediatric protocol for management of extravasation injuries.
abstract: The administration of bioactive agents through IV can lead to serious complications, including partial-or full-thickness skin loss, infection, nerve and tendon damage, or loss of limb. Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters (CHKD) implemented a protocol to uniformity identify and treat infiltrates in order to avoid these serious potential complications.
