Abstract
A patient receiving Norepinephrine infusion through a peripheral IV experienced vasopressor extravasation. Due to an unavailability of phentolamine in the hospital, it was decided to attempt a new method of extravasation treatment through intraarterial injection of nitroprusside, restoring blood flow to the affected area. To mitigate the recurrence of vasospasms given the short half-life of nitroprusside, ropivacaine was injected. This regime successfully alleviated the extravasation-induced vasospasm and the patient recovered full function.
