Forcing fluid through drip to speedy into artery...is this dicey?

my partner had an emergency operation to remove his appendics surrounded by the middle east and im concerned cause he have a drip putting antibiotics into his vein on his foot and the bottle was partially full when the nurse came within to change bottle and instead of waiting for it to drip surrounded by slowly she squeesed all the fluid contained by at once which caused him discomfort and made him dizzy.Is this wrong. also she changed the dressing on his wound without gloves on and i didnt see her clean up her hands i am worried it will end in infection.


Answers:    Sh1t! I'd be a bit worried too. If there is a jeopardy, it is the danger of unsafe the vein, distension due to the over pressure. I would expect it to be bumpy, though the drip is going into a vein and not an artery, thank God. It is fundamentally unlikely that the vein would rupture, but not impossible.

The point is, the antibiotic should be drip feed over a period of time surrounded by order for it to stay at a steady plane in the system, thus working continuously over that time, and not "shot" into the blood stream within a short sharp blast.

It is more likely the thought of it that make him feel dizzy, since venous blood is on the return side of the circulatory system it get well mixed beside blood returning from all over the body, even so, it is doomed to failure practice.

I'd say shift to Blackpool next year!!
Dangerous and wrong, the IV fluids are ordered by a physician at a specific rate, and they are deliver this way due to the effects your friend experienced. The nurse deliver the wrong amount of medication , patient must make conversation to supervisor, about both issues, an infection is the closing thing one wishes, you are right to be worried and should speak up and ask for another RN.
