using bubble trap if having IV

charlanne

Hello,
I was wondering if others have been told to make sure there is a bubble trap if you need an IV. I have a small hole in my heart and was told this. Tomorrow I am having an IVIG and there is not a bubble trap available. I don't know if i should go ahead with it or not.

I agree, better to take the precautions than the risk. Hope all goes well for you.

Thanks for your response. I'm not sure it's the same thing. I ended up cancelling for today and the hospital is going to order the trap. The nurse was glad I cancelled, why take the chance. Thanks again.

Never heard of a bubble trap. My Mom went in for a back surgery recently and her IV machinery had an alarm on it. It started beeping and the nurse came in. Apparently the machine senses when there's a little bubble and will shut down until someone fixes it. Is that the same thing?
