I work in a very busy ED. I had a horrible, crazy busy night. My patient had blood ordered to be infused over two hours and I accidentally set the pump to infuse over 30 mins. I've never made this big of a mistake before. What do I do? Do I go tell my manager everything? Do I hope the ICU caught and corrected it? This was last week so the patient already received the transfusion. I can't believe I did this.
