IV infiltrations occur when medicines being delivered by an IV get outside the circulatory system and into the body. Some infiltrations merely result in a bruise or slight swelling around the injection site. Other infiltrations can lead to the loss of function in a limb or permanent disfigurement. In this video Marc discusses what happens when an IV infiltration occurs. He further distinguishes between vesicants and non-vesicants and what each respective medicine can do to the body.
