Abstract EN
Accidental injection into the digit from an epinephrine autoinjection device can cause discoloration, pain, and paresthesias.
Although loss of digit is rare, treatment in the emergency department is commonly aimed at vasodilation of the affected tissue.
We report two cases of accidental injection of epinephrine into the digits that were successfully treated with subcutaneous phentolamine injection with no adverse events.
