Reversal of dopamine extravasation injury with topical nitroglycerin ointment

K A Denkler et al. Plast Reconstr Surg. 1989 Nov.

Abstract

We treated a neonate with two sites of ischemia caused by dopamine extravasation. Standard treatment called for local infiltration of phentolamine, an alpha blocker. Instead, we applied 2% topical nitroglycerin ointment and the ischemia was totally reversed.
