Abstract

Intravenous catheter fracture is one of the complications of plastic catheters. We present a case of fracture of peripheral iv cannula that might have happened due to forceful blood transfusion. Fortunately we were able to remove the fractured part of the iv cannula before it landed up in a catastrophic embolic complication.
