Peripheral intravenous infiltration and extravasation (PIVIE) in neonates has the potential to cause significant tissue injury, leading to increased length of stay, increased cost, patient discomfort and family distress. Prevention of PIVIEs requires constant vigilance and the efforts of multiple interprofessional team members.
