  1. Hypothetical - forgetting to prime IV tubing on a central line

    Burno82 posted a topic in General Nursing
    At our facility we have a patient that has a central line with a positive pressure lock. A colleague asked me (hypothetically, I'm hoping) what would happen if she forgot to prime the tubing (but not the drip chamber) before starting the IV. I remember reading most tubing sets contain 12-25 ml of air, and for most patients the rule of thumb is 1-2ml/KG (50+ generally), however this was for peripheral. What would happen for a central line?
