Complications ranging from mild injury to amputation can result, depending on the physical and pharmacologic properties of the infusate. Children are at increased risk for extravasation injuries. There is a paucity of data on the treatment and outcomes of extravasation injuries, particularly in terms of the role of pharmacologic antidotes.</p><p><strong>Objectives: </strong>To describe the incidence of extravasation at a tertiary pediatric care centre (as an update to a previous study), to identify the agents most commonly involved in extravasation injuries, to describe the antidotes used for management of injuries and their related adverse drug effects, and to describe complications related to injuries.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The medical records of pediatric patients who experienced an extravasation injury at the BC Children's and BC Women's Hospitals, between September 1, 2008, and September 30, 2020, were reviewed.

Of the 242 patients, 110 were excluded from secondary outcome analysis due to lack of data detailing the extravasation event. Of the remaining 132 patients, the majority were neonates (<i>n</i> = 54, 40.9%), infants (<i>n</i> = 33, 25.0%), and children (<i>n</i> = 34, 25.8%), and more than a third were treated on general pediatric wards (<i>n</i> = 50, 37.9%). The medications most frequently involved were total parenteral nutrition with lipids (36/132, 27.3%), vancomycin (36/132, 27.3%), and IV fluids (35/132, 26.5%). Most of the patients had mild outcomes and recovered without complications. No adverse drug events from antidotes were reported.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The incidence of extravasation at the study institution remained low, with the medications involved being similar to those reported in the literature and the majority of patients having mild outcomes.
