Extravasation of propofol is associated with tissue necrosis in small children

Winfried Roth et al. Paediatr Anaesth. 2006 Aug.

Abstract

Propofol is widely used for induction of anesthesia and many reports document extravasation and even intra-arterial injections without clinical sequelae. We report a case of tissue necrosis after subcutaneous injection of propofol in a 31-day-old infant.
