It was reported bd atm was training a new rn at the bedside.It was stated rn had already placed 3 pg¿s successfully.On the 4th catheter placement, rn noticed slight resistance with the wire but tried threading the catheter just slightly.When the catheter would not advance, bd atm recommended to pull the catheter back, then the wire.There seemed to be no issues so they redirected the catheter under ultrasound and successfully placed the line.Once they retracted the device, they drew blood back, flushed the catheter with no issues, dressed down, etc.At that time, bd atm noticed the wire was missing from the powerglide device.Patient information unknown however it was in the ed and patient was admitted to the hospital.An ultrasound was done and possibly a ct scan however it is unknown at this time the outcome for patient yet.
