The only difference between infiltration and extravasation is that the former is done with therapeutic intent (such as lidocaine for local anesthesia) and the latter is an unintended event with a harmful medication. Nonpharmacologic treatment of extravasation involves the application of cold or warm compresses to the affected area.
