re: Prayers Needed from the OT Community *Update Page 28*

I still don't understand the rationale for a pressure bag on IV fluids for a toddler that is able to drink on their own. Again...ER and urgent care was not where I worked. Maybe someone else can say that a pressure bag in that situation isn't unusual.

The picture shown...he looks awake and alert. Not pale and lethargic. And happily drinking on a bottle that looks to be over halfway gone.

If the fluids aren't flowing right...you check the line for kinks...you look at the IV site to make sure it is still where it needs to be at that maybe the IV catheter itself hasn't kinked. You determine if you need to start another IV.

With some of the IV pumps...you can even tell how the pump is alarming what the issue is(related to IV tubing or IV site itself).
