It was reported that after infusion, the chemo line and extension tubing was clamped.When disengaging the injector from the connector saline began to leak with a bd connector luer lock c45.The following information was provided by the initial reporter: it was reported that there was "leaking out from where the needle punctures through the membrane on the c45 onto the floor." patient was receiving a 24hr chemo.The infusion had a n35 on the end of the chemo tubing which was connected onto a c45 on the patient's kvo line at the lowest port on the kvo line.When the infusion was done, the rn clamped tubing on the chemo line, and clamped the extension tubing on the huber needle, then the rn disengaged the injector from the connector and waited a few seconds before completely removing the injector from the connector.The rn left the connector on as she would be hanging another 24hr chemo infusion.While getting the next chemo ready, the patient was standing up and i was in the room the whole time for the disconnection.I looked down and drops of saline from the kvo line were leaking out from where the needle punctures through the membrane on the c45 onto the floor.The rn removed that c45 and placed a new c45 onto the kvo line.
