Event Description
|
A patient was using an intravenous (iv) extension set to infuse a post-operative iv of acetaminophen at a rate of 100 or 200 milliters over 15 minutes (no further detail).It was reported that the blue cap that was over the ¿other y-site¿ (not further specified) was not tight onto the site and allowed air to enter into the line during the infusion.It was stated that air entered the patient for an unknown amount of time (stated as approximately 15-60 minutes).The patient went into respiratory distress due to the event.The patient was given oxygen via a cpap (continuous positive airway pressure) machine.Narcan was also administered to the patient (dose, frequency and route were not reported).Afterwards, the patient complained of weakness in their left arm.The patient's left arm function eventually returned to normal, and the patient recovered from the event.No additional information is available.
