Vesicants: New Evidence and Risk Prevention

An INS task force was formed to review and update the 2017 vesicant list, identify current issues and risks relative to vesicant administration, and revise the extravasation prevention checklist. Presented by members of the task force, this INS virtual symposium addresses 5 challenging aspects of mitigating the risk of extravasations: identifying vesicants, optimal vascular access device and site choice, clinical practices to avoid extravasation, prevention of legalities with case study examples, and implementation of organizational policies and procedures. Extravasation may result in severe patient injuries including scarring, permanent functional impairment, and even loss of a limb. Such injuries are preventable when clinicians identify which medications and solutions are vesicants, understand infusion-related risks, and implement preventative interventions.
