Is there any impact on the infusion if the interface of the indwelling needle was forgotten to be disinfected?

In general, forgetting to disinfect the catheter hub before intravenous infusion may have consequences. The specific analysis is as follows:

The catheter hub is the part left in the vein by the physician when inserting the indwelling needle, typically suitable for patients requiring long-term intravenous infusion. To ensure the safety of the infusion, the catheter hub must be disinfected promptly before infusion to prevent bacterial introduction and subsequent infection. If the catheter hub is not disinfected, it may lead to infection, manifested as local redness, swelling, pain, and sometimes accompanied by fever and other inflammatory symptoms. In severe cases, it can even lead to serious consequences such as sepsis. Such infections not only pose a serious threat to the patient's health but may also increase treatment difficulties and costs, adversely affecting the patient's recovery.

Therefore, healthcare professionals should confirm again before infusion whether the catheter hub has been disinfected and use disinfectant swabs and solution to properly disinfect the hub, ensuring the safety and effectiveness of the infusion. At the same time, patients receiving intravenous therapy should also ask healthcare staff about the proper disinfection procedure for the catheter hub and closely monitor their physical condition to avoid abnormal reactions such as infection during the infusion process.
