Nursing Experience of Bloodletting Cupping in Treating Extravasation of Fat Emulsion in an Elderly Stroke Patient
This article summarizes the case of an elderly stroke patient who experienced extravasation of medium/long-chain fat emulsion during peripheral intravenous catheter infusion. Through comprehensive assessment of the patient’s systemic condition and based on the grading of limb swelling and pain, bloodletting cupping was applied to alleviate local skin and subcutaneous tissue tension. After tension release, hydrocolloid dressing was used to protect the skin, while continuous monitoring was conducted on the affected limb’s circumference, extravasation area, pain score, skin color, swelling severity, capillary refill, and skin integrity. After 5 days of intervention, the patient’s limb function was nearly restored. This case aims to provide practical guidance for managing similar clinical scenarios.
