Many many years ago, that very thing happened to me. The doctor came in, used
the 21G straight needle (ouch!) to inject the dye in the antecubital. I
started taking my pictures and everything was just fine. 45 seconds go by; 60
seconds go by, 90 seconds and still no dye. As I am franticly checking
settings, power, filters he is asking why there is no dye. Everything was set
properly, patient had absolutely no signs of infiltration, no pain anywhere in
their arm, shoulder or lower part of the arm. The doctor had no idea why there
would not be any dye, he said he got it in the vein. He ended up re-injecting
in another vein, and what do you know. A perfect FA transit! We chalked it up
to the bizarre category. I have never seen that since.

Subject: [optimal] No infiltration...no Fluorescein
Has anyone ever experienced a phenomenon where an FA injection did not
infiltrate, or at least we did not have any indication of infiltration, and no
dye infuses into the retinal blood vessels? All camera functions we're verified
and set correctly and the Color fundus and redfree images we're good.
Just curious.
Thanks
