Situation: A neonate in an ICU being
administered IV calcium exhibits signs of inflammation and necrosis at
injection site.
Reaction: Oh my God! Why didn't you observe the IV site carefully?
Lesson: Make Sure that all hypocalcemic neonates are put on a cardiac monitor while receiving calcium infusions and the IV site is closely observed because extravasations of calcium can produce severe interstitial necrosis.
