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 responsesÂ

I'm also interested in this info. We need an extravasation policy for non-chemo vesicants & irritants. We'd also like to provide a quick reference treatment chart and introduce it with an educational campaign reminding nurses to leave the PIV in place for instillation of the neutralizing agent. Deb
