Hello everyone I hope you are all doing fine. I have a true abstract from American Journal of Pain Management from Dr. Hooshmand.

Venipuncture Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Type II
by Hooshang Hooshmand, MD, Masood Hashmi, MD, and Eric M. Phillips


Keywords: causalgia, CRPS Type I and II, neuroinflammation, sympathectomy, venipuncture

Volume: AJPM Vol. 11 No. 4 October 2001 pgs 112-124
Abstract:
Venipuncture Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Type II (VP-CRPS II) is a rare and unpredictable complication of venipuncture. It is the manifestation of a minor injury leading to a severe form of CRPS. It should not be mistaken for benign forms of hematoma or phlebitis without CRPS. There is no definite causal relation with the type of needle used, nor with number of attempts at IV insertion. It is usually a rare complication of the needle accidentally injuring the microscopic microvascular C-thermoreceptor sensory nerve. Lack of experience and severity of the trauma are not proven risk factors, and there are no known preventive measures. Accidental infiltration of chemical irritants can instigate the VP-CRPS, unless the injection is discontinued immediately. Early diagnosis and proper treatment provide significant pain relief. Multimodal treatment is essential. Surgical procedures, especially sympathectomy, may exacerbate the condition and lead to irreversible therapeutic failure.
