A 17-month-old child received an on the head. When he came home in the evening and took a nap in bed, he fell asleep with his head pressed against the. Is there any interference? He is accustomed to sleeping on that side, and it happened to press against the!

Doctor's answer:

The needle of the restraint needle is soft, and it's usually not a problem if it's slightly moved. If there's no blood return inside the straight needle or no broken skin around it, there's no need to worry too much. However, there can also be a situation where the needle adheres to the wall. So, you should check whether the liquid is flowing smoothly when the child is being infused. If it's flowing smoothly, then there's no problem. If it's not flowing smoothly, you can only remove it and restart the injection. So, there's no need to be overly concerned.
