In the middle of a cardiac cath procedure, the 10 ml syringe contained contrast being infused.While the physician was injecting contrast, the 10 cc syringe split.The procedure was stopped and the cracked syringe was removed (for fear air could enter the syringe and cause an air embolus).A new syringe was placed with new contrast.It is reported that this is the second time this happened.The cracked syringe was sequestered.
