Nursing care for pediatric patients with extravasation: a case study
Keywords:
Extravasation, pediatric nursing careAbstract
The most severe complication of peripheral intravenous in children was the fluid leakage from blood vessels into tissue injury or extravasation. Due to severe cases, it takes several months to heal or may be to the point of disability, affecting to quality of life of both pediatric patients and families. Nurses play important roles in caring during intravenous fluid therapy, including the ability to assess early warning signs as quickly as possible. Nursing care should be started before giving fluids, choosing the location of the blood vessel, selecting an equipment, type of fluid, and the duration fluid administration. The nurses should monitor every hour after fluid administration such as a site assessment when fluids or medications are running through the line, including assessing the initial symptoms and prevention of extravasation continuously. This article provides an example of a case study and nursing care for increasing the quality of nursing and safety of children treated with peripheral intravenous fluids
