  1. Eye splash

    trinitystar78 posted a topic in General Nursing
    Anyone ever had a syringe separate from syringe during an injection? I was giving an allergy injection yesterday SQ of course and after I stuck the patient and went to inject the medicine the syringe detached from the needle hub leaving the needle hub in the patient's arm and spraying me in the face with wasp venom! I ended up taking an antihistamine but never showed any signs of a reaction to the venom. Some did get near my eye but I really was not worried about an eye splash exposure since the needle was still stuck in the patient and all that splashed back on me was the allergy serum reflecting off the needle hub when the syringe detached. Is this just a freak accident or has anyone else ever had this happen to them? Just wondering.
