It was reported by customer that patient has a power midline in place for antibiotics.Her antibiotic should have been infused over 30 minutes, but it has been going for hours.She has an extension set connected to her midline so she can access it herself.She stopped the infusion because it is leaking.Her bed under her arm is "soaked'.The leakage seems to be coming from the insertion site.Her bandage is wet and her arm is sore.Response: advised patient to stop the infusion and do not restart the infusion.Suggested continuing to call her home health agency as well as the doctor that prescribed the iv antibiotics to let them know the iv line has leaked outside of her arm.Explained she needs to see an health care professional today which could be her doctor, the home health nurse, or the emergency room physician.Suggested she make sure they know she did not get this round of antibiotics.No other information was provided.
