The micropuncture wires were sticking on the needle after insertion.The wire was fed through and when the doctor tried to remove the needle, it became stuck on the wire so the needle and wire had to be removed completely.The physician then attempted on the other side himself and the same thing happened, so on both occasions the needle had to be removed with the wire in it.The patient did require an additional procedures due to this occurrence; as no central access was possible the pediatric patient had to have an intraosseous needle inserted to administer fluid and drugs.This was successful and the patient recovered.
