[Accidental injection of adrenaline in a finger with EpiPen]. / Accidentel injektion af adrenalin i en finger med EpiPen.

ABSTRACT

We report a case of accidental injection of 0.3 mg epinephrine in the right pollux. The actual case was treated with systemic nitroglyceride and immersion of the finger in hot water. A review of the literature shows that the adequate treatment is local infiltration with Phentholamine Mesylate. There is a need to describe this treatment in conventional literature.
