Patient's question:
Hello, I would like to ask if there was a lump after the infusion for a 7-year-old child, I pulled out the needle and left it for over an hour. When the doctor came, they used the same needle for the infusion. During this time, the child used the needle to scratch wood. Is there any harm to the body?Current treatment history and effectiveness:
What kind of help do you need: Is this harmful to the child?
Doctor's answer:
A needle scratching wood may pick up many bacteria, potentially including pathogenic bacteria, but in most cases, there is absolutely no major issue. When administering intravenous fluids, hygiene should be paid attention to. Needles and other items are disposable, and a new needle should be used at that time. Wishing you a pleasant day every day, thank you~ The above suggestions are for the question "Children's intravenous needles left in the air for over an hour," and it is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
