The nurse dislodged my picc line
September 7, 2023
The nurse dislodged my picc line by pulling the tube out by 6cm. This resulted in a medical emergency and me having to have it removed. I needed it for the rest of my chemo cycles. I can’t have another picc line put in because my veins constricted too much when I had it inserted and on the other side I have scarring from lymph node removal. I now have to have a cannula for the of my chemo cycles which will be more risky for my veins. The nurse that did this was clearly not trained properly for removing picc line dressings.
