Abstract
- Intravenous vasopressin is a commonly used modality for the control of bleeding of the esophageal varices. The ischemic cutaneous necrosis by vassopressin can be occurred at extravasated sites, or proximal to an intravenous catheter site, or at isolated pressure points. We report a case of cutaneous necrosis which occurred at intravenous catheter sites and at distant sites from direct intravenous flow during vasopressin therapy.
