Was this an especially small or a pediatric patient?

Re: tendon rupturesite was note as "in dorsum of hand" - surgeon's report
"the common extensor tendons of the index, long and ring fingers were found
to be completely ruptured" no problems prior to IV being established - I
am totally perplexed

Never heard of this! If the site was in the fingers, I would have to
look at what they did to stabilize the catheter and support the joints.

Subject: needle safety
Have a situation where a family member wants the nurses in a long
term care facility to use lancets for their mother that are not safety. Can
anyone tell me how and where to find the law that states that all needle
devices must be safety? Thanks in advance for the info as do not have the
time to research on the web myself. This is why this site is wonderful,
those of us that don't know can contact those that do.
