    Extravasation is the accidental administration of intravenously infused medications into the extravascular space/tissue around infusion sites, either by leakage, previous venipuncture, or direct leakage from mispositioned venous access devices. Extravasation of medication during intravenous therapy is an adverse event related to therapy that, depending on the medication, amount of exposure, and location, can potentially cause serious injury and permanent harm, such as tissue necrosis.
