Event Description
|
It was reported that a combi set blood leak occurred approximately two hours into a patient¿s hemodialysis (hd) treatment.Blood was seen dripping from the t-connection of the bloodline, on the arterial side.A registered nurse (rn) noticed the blood leaking and moved closer to assess the situation.The rn then touched the heparin line while trying to determine the source of the leak, and the heparin line subsequently separated from the t-connection resulting in more blood loss.The blood pump was stopped manually, and the tubing was clamped above and below the t-connection.Blood from the arterial side was returned, and the patient was re-setup with new supplies on the same machine.There were no machine alarms that occurred in conjunction with the reported event.No irregularities were noted with the combi set during the pre-dialysis inspection, and there were no leaks that occurred during the priming phase.The patient¿s estimated blood loss (ebl) was reported to be 200 ml.The rn 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 restarting with new supplies (dialyzer and lines).The combi set was not available to be returned for evaluation as the device was reportedly discarded.
