Patient's question:
Cough. Test results: No medication taken. Today, when I was halfway through giving the child an intravenous infusion, I didn't promptly switch to the second bottle for the child, so I closed the valve on the infusion tube, and it resulted in backflow. I am very worried. Could this cause harm to the child? How severe could the harm be?Doctor's answer:
This situation generally has absolutely no impact! No need to worry! Intravenous tubing is strictly sterilized! So even if blood flows back, you can simply press the button to re-infuse it into the body! It's nothing! This situation is very common! Just be careful not to inject air into the body when using medication at home! Even if you need to reinsert the needle, you cannot remove the air! This situation generally has absolutely no impact! Intravenous tubing is strictly sterilized! So even if blood flows back, you can simply press the button to re-infuse it into the body!
