Adrenaline Auto-injector injuries to digits; a systematic review and recommendations for emergency management

ConclusionPhentolamine is the most effective method of reversing symptoms and treating ischaemic digits when compared to alternative therapies. Symptoms resolved much quicker when phentolamine was infiltrated into the site of injury compared to being infiltrated as a digital block. We propose a treatment algorithm for management of these injuries. Hand surgeons should be aware of AAI injuries and be able to advise on their management.
