T80: Complications following infusion, transfusion and therapeutic injection

T80.1: Vascular complications following infusion, transfusion and therapeutic injection

Certain drugs can be administered directly into a blood vessel. Blood or blood components from another person are also administered directly into a blood vessel. To do this, a needle is inserted into a blood vessel and a tube is usually placed in the blood vessel. The drug or blood is then administered via this tube. This tube can remain in the blood vessel for several days. Sometimes the drug is injected directly into the blood vessel through the needle.

You have problems at the puncture site or in the blood vessels. The blood vessels may become inflamed, for example. The blood vessel may also rupture or blood clots may form.
