Multiple complaints from nursing staff of bd intravascular catheters splintering or splitting.Upon single attempt, the plastic sheath of catheter splinters when needle is re-introduced.On initial insertion, there have been complaints of needle not cannulating the skin/ vein easily and resistance is met.Iv infiltrates appear to be trending up.Below is some of the descriptions that have been shared: the catheter is hard to cannulate the skin "almost as the skin is tough and i know it is not"."i meet resistance if i need to reintroduce the needle into the catheter"."it doesn't seem to thread right"."it doesn't feel right when i puncture the skin"."when i pull it out the catheter is splintered or torn" (after iv attempt was unsuccessful).
