Local complications of thiopentone injection. A further report
Abstract:
Cases of local complications following the injection of thiopentone and reported to Medical Defence Union and to the Medical Protection Society in the period 1970-77 were analysed. There was no case of gangrene distal to the site of injection, but two cases of isolated damage to nerves, muscles and tendons and two cases of local tissue necrosis at the site of injection. A comparison of the results of the present investigation with those of two previous investigations indicates that the frequency of such complications has diminished over the period 1957-77.
