Infiltration and Extravasation are problems that can result from intravenous fluids. Infiltration is the leaking of the fluid into the tissue surrounding the vein. This happens when the tip of the catheter is no longer inserted in the vein, but is not removed from the patient. Extravasation is the leakage of vesicant fluids into the tissues. Vesicants are known to be more caustic and can cause burns.
