Abstract
We report a case of extensive subcutaneous extravasation of corrosive drugs used during cardiac resuscitation, in a neonate undergoing cardiac catheterization. Early management with hyaluronic acid, liposuction and saline washout of the extravasated fluid prevented development of any tissue damage. This simple technique was easy to use and extremely effective.
