Sorry to hear so many of you have had port problems.
Steph,
the article stated:
Interventions:
* Do not infuse any product through a central line that does not have a blood return.
does that mean they should do a blood withdrawal before infusion or is it just a check afterwards? I think they just flush fluid through it first before infusion and only after the infusion at the end do they withdraw blood which they throw away.
thanks
sarah
