Event Description
|
It was reported that during use of the bd venflon¿ pro safety peripheral safety iv catheter there was leakage at the injection port of iv fluid and blood.The bd venflon¿ pro safety peripheral safety iv catheter was replaced with a new bd venflon¿ pro safety peripheral safety iv catheter and the leakage stopped.The following information was provided by the initial reporter: patient had 16g venflon in situ throughout surgery, iv fluids running through the venfon.The venflon was patent with no sign of extravasation.Towards the end of the case the venflon injection port was flushed the fluid was still running.At that point it was noticed that the iv fluid and the patients blood was leaking out through the injection port.In very little time this had created a puddle of blood and iv fluid.We stopped the iv fluid and blood continued to escape from the injection port.The anesthetist quickly had to put a new venflon in elsewhere so that we could remove the faulty one as the patient was bleeding out of it.
