This text provides important information on how to prevent tissue damage in ischemic areas. To do so, it suggests promptly infiltrating the affected area with a solution of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP, containing 5 to 10 mg of Regitine (phentolamine), an adrenergic blocking agent. It also notes that the recommended pediatric dosage of Regitine is 0.1-0.2 mg/kg up to a maximum of 10 mg per dose. To administer the solution, a fine hypodermic needle should be used, and it should be widely infiltrated throughout the ischemic area. The text also explains that administering phentolamine in this way causes immediate and noticeable changes in the affected area, so it is important to do so as soon as possible after noticing any symptoms.*
