Abstract

In cases where the loss of a small volume of blood is critical to the patient's welfare, the technique of re-wiring intra-arterial and intravenous catheters that minimize the amount of blood lost is important. A simple technique is described using the needleless systems which are now widely employed throughout hospitals.
