Antidote information from our hospital pharmacy:
Hyaluronidase (Amphadase)
Pharmacy preparation:
Available as 150 unit/mL (2mL) solution ready for
injection
Draw up 1 mL of hyaluronidase 150 unit/mL and inject
into 9 ml of 0.9% sodium chloride to make 15 unit/mL solution
Draw up 1-5 mL of dilution into syringe.
Infiltrate the extravasation site along the leading edge subcutaneously with multiple small injections (0.2 mL) in a clockwise fashion, changing the needle after each injection (total amount infiltrated 1 mL)
I've seen impressive results when extravasation is caught and treated quickly.
Hope this helps,
Nancy Costa CRNI
