The article deals with the risk of extravasation, which is a serious complication of intravenous therapy, its prevention and initial treatment in newborns and infants. It also mentions the occurrence of extravasation in newborns abroad and indirectly links to an article published in Pediatrics for Practice (No. 3/2022), which discusses the investigation of the incidence of skin injuries in newborns in the Czech Republic in 2020, in which extravasation was identified as the most common cause of injury.

Keywords: risk of extravasation, occurence, prevention, initial treatment, newborns and infants.
