NEUTRALIZING AGENTS

The only vesicant antidote we have listed in our Peripheral IV policy is the administration of Regitine for Dopamine infiltration (Chemotherapuetic infiltrate policy is separate)--The question is are there any other drug extravasations we should be addressing in the Policy and if so what is the source material for treatment--Thank You in Advance of your responses
