Vasopressin is a powerful drug commonly used by emergency personnel in the treatment of cardiac arrest, as it leads to increased blood pressure. Vasopressin is administered intravenously, which means that the patient is at risk of extravasation - when media such as IV fluids leak from the vein into the surrounding tissue fat. The increasing use of vasopressin in the management of cardiac resuscitation also increased the frequency of extravasation. Rapid treatment of extravasation will deter tissue damage that could occur due to increased constriction of blood vessels at the site IV.
