Preterm infant was receiving cafcit (caffeine citrate) iv every 12 hours for apnea and bradycardia episodes due to prematurity.Rn gave dose on at 2118 and noted that patient was having increased episodes of apnea and bradycardia in which the infant required mild stimulation to recover.Rn then noticed that the iv tubing was wet on the exterior and changed the iv tubing.She then attempted to flush the line and noted that there was leaking at the hub of the tubing.Infant most likely did not receive entire dose of cafcit at 2118.
