Event Description
|
A lot of air found between pointy end of filter and tubing.Patient's peripherally inserted central catheter (picc) line tubing has been having issues with air bubbles for the past few days.Troubleshooting by rn transport specialist (rnts) 2 days ago and iv pump was changed.No leaks or break in line.Chamber noted to be full, rn emptied half of chamber and was able to flick all of the air bubbles up towards chamber.Consider use of different tubing if available.Part of larger air in line trend.This air seems lower than others reported and may be more associated with defective filter - this patient has also had repeated blood backup issues that are believed to be associated with a filter problem.This is all the information available.
