Abstract
When the skin and soft tissue necrosis occurs due to extravasation of intravenously administrated biological active materials and drugs, no specific mode of treatment modality is known except for supportive management or debridement and skin graft. This experiment was designed to determine the effective dosage of hyaluronidase and triamcinolone acetonide on the extravasation necrosis caused by calcium gluconate and to establish the optimal time of administration of the antidotes. Initially 0.4 ml of 10% calcium gluconate was injected subcutaneously into the rabbit back. Study I was designed to observe the skin change in 8 groups including control group with no treatment and treated groups with normal saline, saline with hyaluronidase(dosage: 150, 300, 600 unit), saline with triamcinolone acetonide(1 mg, 2 mg), and 150 unit hyaluronidase and 1 mg triamcinolone acetonide (all in volume 0.2 ml, treatment delay: immediate, 15-minutes, 30-minutes, 1-hour, 3-hours delay). The sizes of skin necrosis and induration were measured and compared between each group. Study II was designed to examine the histologic findings of the skin and evaluate the effect of hyaluronidase and triamcinolone acetonide on tissue damage. The sizes of induration and necrosis are smaller in all treated groups than non-treated group and the statistically significant protective effect on reducing the size of necrosis was found in groups treated with the drugs within 15 minutes to 30 minutes(p < 0.05). The most effective protection was obtained by the immediate injection of 150 unit dosage of hyaluronidase with 1 mg triamcinolone acetonide. This study suggests that intralesional injection of hyaluronidase and triamcinolone acetonide within half hour delay for the treatment of extravasation necrosis of calcium gluconate is the most effective, probably due to their diffusion, antiinflammatory effect and role in facilitating the resorption of calcium in the tissue.
