In 3/6 cases, the ADRs occurred following a single adrenaline injection: chest tightness and paresthesia of the extremities ( I n i = 1), hypertension ( I n i = 1), and induration at the injection site ( I n i = 1). A US survey conducted with poison control centres (PCCs) (1994-2007) found 15,190 accidental injections related to AAIs, of which 0.2% were severe.[5] In our study, no side effects were observed related to accidental digital injections and no patient received vasodilators.
