Event Description
|
The clinical nurse manager (cnm) from a hemodialysis (hd) user facility reported that a combi set blood leak occurred at the start of a patient¿s hd treatment.The patient¿s blood flow rate was increased from 200 ml/min to 350 ml/min, and immediately afterwards, the patient care technician (pct) noticed a drip of blood coming from the heparin line (where it connects to the arterial line).The pct went to get gauze to clean up the blood, and by the time they returned, blood had ¿leaked everywhere¿.The heparin line had completely separated from the arterial line.The cnm reported that the increase in pressure ¿pushed out¿ the heparin line, causing the separation.There were no reported alarms, and there were no leaks noted during the priming of the lines.All connections were confirmed to be intact during setup.After the heparin line separated from the bloodline, the treatment was paused and the patient¿s blood was returned.The patient¿s estimated blood loss (ebl) was reported to be 20 ml.The cnm confirmed there was no patient injury, no adverse effects were experienced, and no medical intervention was required as a result of the reported event.The patient completed their treatment after being re-setup with new supplies on the same machine.The combi set was reportedly available to be returned for a manufacturer evaluation.
