2 comments as regards this discussion, based on clinical medicine.

1) Extravasation (intravenous) does not need extension. It is quite complete. Important clinical facts are not lacking in this article.

2) Extravasation (intravenous) should not be merged with "Infiltration (medical)", subsection Tissuing. The reason: Although tissuing is found in medical dictionaries, it is an old term. It is almost never used in modern medicine. To illustrate this point: The last time the word Tissuing was used in the title of a medical article published in a medical journal was before 1985.

To illustrate this point further: Electronically searching the textbook of medicine "UpToDate", the most recent version (published August 2007), "extravasation" leads to 3 pages of hits, including a whole chapter called "Chemotherapy extravasation injury", while "tissuing" leads to no hits at all.

Therefore, seen clinically, I recommed neither extension, nor merging with Tissuing.
