The event involved a 7" smallbore trifuse ext set w/3 microclave® clear, 3 clamps, luer lock, where it was reported that the rubber piece of clave remained pushed down and did not retract when removing medication from line.This resulted in vasopressors leaking out of the clave and not reaching a critically ill patient, requiring multiple medications for hemodynamic stability.The patient had a drastic abrupt drop in blood pressure requiring swift medical interventions for hemodynamic support and stability.
