Description

Hengfang Liu and co-authors gather best practice for when IV fluids leak into tissue during surgery in this 2026 evidence summary. Such leaks range from mild swelling to tissue-killing spills of strong drugs. The team searched major databases and guideline libraries, graded what they found, and distilled forty-one statements.

Advice groups into prevention, early spotting, treatment steps, and system fixes. Planning vein access, choosing sites and catheters well, handling risky drugs safely, and watching the site during surgery anchor the prevention side. Reporting systems, staff training, and teamwork cover the system side. The authors offer the framework to help surgical teams catch leaks early and limit harm.
