I would like to obtain some really gruesome extravasation pictures. I am especially interested in cytotoxic drugs (Taxol in particular). The Gyn/Onc doc's in my facility are trying to say it is ok to give vesicant chemo drugs peripherally as long as they are less then 4 hour infusions. If the peripheral site was receiving appropriate observation and care, it might not be bad, but they want to put a patient in a closed off room, away from nursing supervision, and give these infusions. The nurses are scared to death. I need to put together a scarey presentation for these doc's complete with pictures and possibly some legal cases (Sue? Darnell?) Can anyone help me out? E-mail me privately.
Thanks ahead of time!
