PRESSURE TUBING AND THE CO-SET WERE ATTACHED TO THE AFFECTED LUMEN. THE CATHETER AND TUBING WERE SECURED WITH A PULMONARY ARTERY CATHETER SECUREMENT DEVICE. IT WAS UNDETERMINED WHAT WAS INFUSING THROUGH THE PROXIMAL INJECTATE LUMEN AT THE TIME OF THE LEAKAGE. WHEN THE LEAKAGE WAS NOTED, THE LEUR-LOCK WAS REMOVED AND THE LINE WAS TAPED OVER. THE DAMAGED CATHETER REMAINED IN PLACE PER THE CRITICAL CARE MANAGEMENT TEAM AS THE PATIENT WAS WEANING OFF PRESSORS AND INOTROPES.
