Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Compartment syndrome caused by infusion pump in children has not been sufficiently reported.
Case presentation: A five-month-old boy was admitted to the hospital and underwent decompression of a dorsal hand compartment while receiving only glucose-acetate Ringer's solution.
Conclusion: Infiltration, a commonly seen complication with intravenous fluids and their administration, can cause compartment syndrome due to a variety of factors and should be treated promptly when infiltration or extravasation is detected. Guidelines and recommendations for the management of such cases have not been sufficiently described, and specific guidelines to prevent and detect fluid leakage early in infants are necessary.
