In April 2006, The Joint Commission issued a Sentinel Event Alert pertaining to the risk of tubing misconnections.(1) This alert describes injury to one patient who suffered permanent loss of function and the deaths of eight patients as the result of tubing misconnections. Every perioperative clinician should be aware of and learn how to avoid this common and potentially deadly error.A tubing misconnection occurs when a nurse or other clinician unintentionally connects one end of a tube or catheter to the wrong tube or device. For example, one common misconnection occurs when a member of the health care team connects the male end of an enteric feeding tube to an IV catheter or a peritoneal dialysis catheter. It also is possible for a blood pressure insufflator tube to be connected to an IV catheter.(1)
