ASPIRATION TRAY

Description of Event or Problem

I WAS COMPLETING A BONE MARROW BIOPSY PROCEDURE AND ASPIRATING THE BONE MARROW ASPIRATE. DURING THE BONE MARROW ASPIRATION, THE TROCHAR LUER LOCK HUB SNAPPED/SPLIT IN HALF DURING ASPIRATION. I WAS UNABLE TO COMPLETE THE ASPIRATION DUE TO AIR FILLING THE SYRINGE. I HAD TO REMOVE MY NEEDLE OBTAIN A NEW TROCHAR NEEDLE AND REINSERT IT TO COMPLETE THE PROCEDURE. THIS CAUSED INCREASED PATIENT DISCOMFORT AND BLEEDING DUE TO SECOND INSERTION OF THE NEW TROCHAR NEEDLE AT THE BIOPSY SITE.
