Hey Gang I was infusing blood the other day my pt had a picc line with a double lumen. My friend said that I should have cut off the tpn while the blood infused I thought that was whole purpose of having a picc line with more than one lumen. Please give me some feedback on this situation.

The reason why u cant get blood from a peripheral IV??

Hey Guys I Had A Patient The Other Day Who Had To Recieve 2 Units Of Prbc's I Started The Infusion And We Have 4 Hours For The Blood To Infuse The Patient Had About 3 Other Antiobiotics To Be Given I Know That The Only That Can Be Infused With Blood Is Normal Saline. My Question Is I Know I Could Have Started Another Iv Does It Matter Whether It Is Distally Or Proximal To The One Already Infusing Blood. Anyways After The 1st Unit Transfused I Ran 2 Antiobitics Then I Was Gonna Start The 2 Unit. Any Input Would Be Greatly Appreciated

Thanks I think I will continue to dilute it with 10 ml of normal saline Thanks for all of your comments

when a person has a picc line do u need to dilute phenergan with 10 ml ns >???

Hello I am a new grad I had a pt recieving fluids with k the doctor wrote an order for K bolus in NS because the patient pottassium level was 2.7. My question is would u continue to run the main fluids that the pt had from the jump along with the bolus. I am still in orientation, but I was thinking maybe i should have just did the bolus fluids. THANKS !!!
