The 2006 JCAHO Tubing Misconnections Sentinel Event alert involves reported cases of significant damage done to patients due to incorrect tubing connections. Some examples of the mistakes made include an enteric tube feeding into an intravenous catheter, injection of barium sulfate into a central venous catheter, and an enteric tube feeding into a peritoneal dialysis catheter. Mistakes like these have led to permanent loss of function and even death in patients.

Help keep your patients safer throughout your busy facility with a quality, patient-friendly gastrostomy kit.
