Patient received stem cell transfusion with the blood tubing connected directly to the hub of the patient's double lumen hickman catheter.After the stem cell transfusion was completed, the rn caring for patient attempted to disconnect the tubing from the hickman catheter line and was unable to do so due to the tubing breaking.Rn was unable to untwist the tubing and an interventional radiologist came to bedside and was also unable to remove.As a result, the patient had to have an additional procedure to replace the hickman line.
