Lets discuss another BIG Elephant in the room!!! Chemotherapy Extravasation Injuries
Extravasation: The 6% risk you can't afford to ignore. ⚠️
It happens in 0.01% to 6.5% of patients receiving intravenous chemotherapy .
Sounds rare—until it's YOUR patient.
When a vesicant leaks, the clock starts ticking. Pain, swelling, blistering, necrosis—even treatment delays that affect cancer outcomes .
But here's the truth: Many nurses feel underprepared. Extravasation is a "high-risk, low-incidence" event. We don't see it often—so when it happens, panic can replace protocol .
The new Guideline (2025) changes everything.
For the first time, we have clear, evidence-based answers to the questions we've been guessing on:
❓ Which antidote for which drug?
❓ Cold or warm compress?
❓ When do we call surgery?
❓ How do we document and monitor for delayed reactions?
At the Dressing Selection Workshop, our speakers will break down:
✅ The step-by-step extravasation algorithm—from immediate stop to follow-up care.
✅ How to choose the right dressing post-extravasation based on tissue damage.
✅ Real-case discussions on what works, what doesn't, and why.
Because "we'll just observe" is NOT a plan.
