Alterations in wound healing secondary to infusion injury
Abstract
Though uncommon, the occurrence of an extravasation of a tissue-toxic drug can be a very disconcerting event in the physician's practice. A wound specialist, such as a plastic surgeon, is frequently consulted. The author reviews the "state of the art" approach to these challenging wounds.
