Shortly after change of shift it was noted that the lipids line was wet.Tracing back up to the spot where the syringe was screwed into the line's hub there was a large amount of leakage.End of syringe was broken.Lipids were stopped and disconnected from patient.Nurse practitioner was made aware.Pharmacy was contacted.After checking in with the pharmacy again they stated that it was all prepared under a hood to maintain sterility so the whole set up (tpn, total parenteral nutrition, included) would need to be redone.Nurse practitioner made aware, stated that patient could go without lipids infusing for the night.
