You know what your body feels like. If something around your IV suddenly feels painful, swollen, or different, it’s worth speaking up.
Some signs that an IV may need attention include:
⚠️ Swelling or puffiness around the IV site
⚠️ Skin that appears stretched, pale, or shiny
⚠️ Burning, throbbing, or pressure
⚠️ Coolness or firmness around the area
⚠️ Fluid leaking near the catheter
It can be frustrating and frightening to raise a concern about your care and feel like it isn’t being taken seriously.
If you experienced an IV complication, your concerns were dismissed, and you’re now living with ongoing pain, numbness, weakness, or another injury, Hodes Milman can listen to what happened and help you determine whether medical negligence may have played a role.
