Hypodermoclysis, or subcutaneous infusion of fluids, is an alternative means of administration of fluid. It is sometimes used in older patients in whom there is difficulty achieving intravenous access, or who are entering the terminal stage. It is considered a relatively low-risk procedure. We report a case where a patient's death may have resulted from its use.
皮下输液法,即皮下输注液体,是一种替代的液体给药方式。它有时用于难以建立静脉通路或已进入终末期的老年患者。这被认为是一种风险相对较低的操作。我们报告了一例可能因使用该方法导致患者死亡的病例。
