If you or a loved one has suffered due to an IV infiltration or extravasation injury in Florida, J.P. is here to help you seek justice and compensation.
What Are IV Infiltration and Extravasation?
IV Infiltration occurs when a non-vesicant fluid or medication leaks into the surrounding tissue from a vein. This can cause swelling, pain, and tissue damage, but generally, the substances are not toxic to tissues.
Extravasation is more severe and involves the leaking of vesicant drugs, which can cause blistering, severe tissue damage, or even necrosis. This can occur due to negligence in the placement or maintenance of an IV line.
