About this episode
Disasters and Solutions looks at unusual, difficult or outright disastrous outcomes caused by injectables. We speak to the injectors involved, go through what happened step by step, and learn what might have prevented it and how injectors can practise more safely.
In Chapter 4, Perth registered nurse Hayley Anderson shares her experience on the other side of the needle, as a patient. She had a temple treatment with a hybrid blend of Radiesse, Belotero Revive and saline, and suffered a significant vascular occlusion.
We go through how the complication was managed, from the first steps and hospital visit to aspirin, sildenafil, hyperbaric oxygen therapy and ultrasound, and discuss her recovery, collaborative care, informed consent, treating friends and family, and the lessons learned.
