Event Description
|
It was reported that air entered the iv set,microset, y conn, flush,sr,stret line due to a defective/disengage clamp.The icu consultant was called in to intervene with imaging.It was also reported that there was exposure to blood/bodily fluid.The following information was provided by the initial reporter: ''i am reporting an incident that occurred on our icu with a patient who had a bd pca infusion set connected to the patient on (b)(6) 2021.The patient had a pca connected for pain control and in the subsequent few hours hence became more and more breathless.The icu consultant who was called to review saw air in the right side of the heart and traced the source of the air to the y connector that was not being used to administer fluid, was capped with the supplied cap but the white clamp was disengaged." "it was noted that the supplied cap was not sealing appropriately despite being screwed on.Despite the clamp being disengaged we would expect this to still fail safe.A colleague and i have been able to test another pca set from the same range and have been able to entrain air via a capped y connector' exposure to blood/bodily fluid-yes".
