A primary bag of dextrose 5% sodium chloride.15% set up with secondary bag of methotrexate and upon checking the bag to see if the secondary infusion was complete the bag of methotrexate (yellow in color) had been back flowing into the primary bag of fluid in addition to running into the patient line.As a result the patient needed to receive an extra 400ml of fluid to complete the entire dose of methotrexate and the infusion took 4 hours longer than anticipated due to patient size and corresponding fluid rate.Per site reporter: i am waiting for shipping material from manufacturer.
