In 2017, INS formed a Vesicant Task Force (VTF) with the goal to formulate an evidence-based list of noncytotoxic vesicant medications and solutions. At the conclusion of that work, the VTF recommended that the list be updated on a regular basis as new data emerge and as new medications are introduced into the market. So, in 2021, a new VTF was formed to review the literature and revise the 2017 vesicant list. Recognition of vesicants and their relative risk of injury is essential to extravasation prevention, early recognition, and appropriate treatment. To this end, the VTF developed and published an updated Extravasation Prevention Checklist in 2024. We are pleased to share this updated Extravasation Prevention Checklist in the INS Learning Center.
