It was reported that two stopcocks connected in series became disconnected during patient turn, resulting in an interruption of vasopressor infusion (norepinephrine).Following the disconnection, the patient experienced a decrease in mean arterial pressure (map) and a subsequent drop in glasgow coma scale (gcs).At the time of the event, the patient did not have an arterial line in place for continuous blood pressure monitoring.As a result, the hypotensive episode was not immediately recognized and was only identified when the non-invasive blood pressure (nibp) monitor cycled approximately 15 minutes later.There were patient involvement and no harm.
