IV fluids canula
Mother has been diagnosed with typhoid. Hence she is on IV for 3 days. Today was her first dose. They have put canula and told to let it be there cuz another 4 dose to be given(daily twice)
In the end of canula, there is some blood stuck. Attached pic. Tomorrow morning she has another dose. Drips will be attached to the same canula, so at tat time if the stuck blood goes inside the vein will it be any harm? What to do now please suggest
Heard that clots can cause so many complications.
Tensed. What to do now? Should we have to take off the canula tomorrow and get pricked a new one on the other hand for next dose?
Attached pics of it
