Intravaszkuláció

Intravaszkuláció refers to the unintended injection of a substance into the bloodstream that is meant for extravascular administration. This can occur when a medication or other substance is accidentally injected into a vein instead of the intended tissue, such as a muscle or subcutaneous layer. The consequences of intravaszkuláció depend on the substance injected and the volume. Some substances can be relatively benign, while others can cause significant harm or even be life-threatening. For example, injecting a substance meant for local effect into the bloodstream can lead to systemic toxicity, affecting organs throughout the body.

This complication is most commonly associated with medications administered via injection, particularly in healthcare settings where nurses or other medical professionals are performing injections. Factors that can contribute to intravaszkuláció include incorrect needle placement, administration errors, or unexpected anatomical variations. Symptoms can range from mild localized reactions to severe systemic effects such as allergic reactions, cardiovascular compromise, or neurological disturbances. Proper training of healthcare professionals in injection techniques and anatomy is crucial for preventing intravaszkuláció. Immediate recognition and management of intravaszkuláció are essential to minimize potential harm. Treatment strategies are tailored to the specific substance injected and may involve supportive care, antidotes if available, or other medical interventions.
