Abstrakt: Automated injection of computed tomography contrast material can produce a compartment syndrome if extravasation occurs. Unconscious patients and the elderly may be at particular risk. Selection of nonionic contrast material, careful evaluation of the intravenous administration site, and close monitoring of the patient during use of a power injector may help minimize or prevent extravasation injuries.
