Vascular complications following infusion, transfusion and therapeutic injection - what does this mean
Vascular complications following infusion, transfusion and therapeutic injection occur when the blood vessels are damaged due to the infusion, transfusion or injection of a therapeutic agent. this can be caused by a variety of factors, including incorrect administration of the agent, an adverse reaction to the therapeutic agent, or an infection caused by the procedure.
What happens during the disease - vascular complications following infusion, transfusion and therapeutic injection
Vascular complications following infusion, transfusion and therapeutic injection are caused by the introduction of foreign material into the circulatory system, resulting in an immune response. this can lead to inflammation and damage to the walls of the blood vessels, resulting in thrombosis, embolism, occlusion or other complications. the risk of these complications increases with the duration of the infusion, the volume of the infused material, and the presence of pre-existing medical conditions.
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal: To reduce the risk of vascular complications following infusion, transfusion and therapeutic injection.
- Perform a thorough physical assessment prior to any infusion, transfusion or injection.
- Monitor vital signs and assess for signs and symptoms of vascular complications throughout the procedure.
- Ensure that the infusion, transfusion or injection is performed at the correct site.
- Ensure that the correct equipment is used for the procedure.
- Ensure that the correct rate of infusion, transfusion or injection is used.
- Ensure that the correct volume of fluid or medication is infused, transfused or injected.
- Ensure that the patient is adequately hydrated before and during the procedure.
- Administer medications, as appropriate, to reduce the risk of vascular complications.
- Monitor the patient's response to the procedure and adjust the rate and volume accordingly.
- Provide appropriate post-infusion, transfusion or injection care.
