Thank you very much, ladies. I really worried about this!

I've read on the web today that the tip of the canulae might occasionally scrape the inside of a vein. I'm thinking if that would have been the case, the "shred"would not have been round and compact. So I don't think that's what I've seen. By the way, the length of it was about the size of the canulae.

The baby was good over the whole removal, just the stringy part upset him. Once mom spoke to him gently, he was fine again. Sorry, but I really don't know how other way to describe it. After removing the whole thing, I watched it for a while, and it seemed fine. No bleeding, no swelling, no redness. I then applied a pasture and went on about my jobs.

The color was dark red.

Hi, all I removed a cannula from baby's hand. After doing this, from the whole made where the needle pierced the skin there was something like a thread hanging out. I've touched it and moved it gently and to be honest to me it looked like it could have been a vein or such. It was really compact, truly it looked like a peace of thread. I then kind of pulled gently at it and it came off, but it seemed to me that this action caused pain to the baby. Now I wonder what that could have been and if somehow I maybe cause some damage and endangered the patient? What do you guys think? Many thanks for your replies!
