Abstract
Intracavernosal injection of phenylephrine is a common emergency department treatment utilized in management of priapism, but emergency physicians should be aware of the potential severe systemic complications resulting from this procedure. Providers should take a careful history, including over-the-counter medication use; consider comorbid medical history; standardize phenylephrine mixing instructions with pharmacy; and perform the procedure in a monitored setting with a brief observation after complete detumescence.
