Event Description
|
Per the clinical review on 29-oct-2015: the risk manager (rm) now states that the venous reservoir was drained accidentally during cardiopulmonary bypass procedure (cpb), but was not due to malfunction of system-1 or any other manufacturer product.The air never reached the patient, according to the rm, and there was no harm observed.The cpb would have been stopped and the air removed and then cpb would be re-initiated.This would delay the procedure, and a time off cpb of about two minutes is estimated.The procedure was completed successfully and no blood loss was reported.
