    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    IT WAS REPORTED THAT DURING A NEPHROSTOMY TREATMENT PROCEDURE, THE CATHETER HAD DIFFICULTY ADVANCING AND THE PATIENT EXPERIENCED BLEEDING. A NON-BSC SUPER STIFF GUIDE WIRE WAS INTRODUCED AND ADVANCED TO THE KIDNEY. THE PIGTAIL LOCK WAS STRAIGHTENED AND THE APDL/8 FLEXIMA DRAINAGE CATHETER INTRODUCED OVER THE WIRE. THE CATHETER BECAME STUCK IN THE CHANNEL AND BUCKLED. THE CATHETER WAS REMOVED AND A 10F DILATOR WAS INSERTED TO OPEN UP THE CHANNEL. THE CATHETER WAS REINSERTED SUCCESSFULLY AND THE GUIDE WIRE REMOVED. WHEN THE DRAINAGE BAG WAS ATTACHED TO THE END OF THE HUB, BLOOD WAS SEEN IN THE BAG RATHER THAN CLEAR FLUID. NO FURTHER COMPLICATIONS WERE REPORTED AND THE PATIENT'S STATUS IS STABLE. THE PHYSICIAN STATED THAT DURING PREPARATION, THE FLEXIMA WAS NOT PRE-SOAKED FOR 30 SECONDS AS MENTIONED IN THE DFU, BUT WAS WET 'AS HE ALWAYS HAS DONE'.
