Guest guest Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 Hi all I just had my aortic CT done today and for all you nurses out there ---- a couple of questions First they put the IV in and I really don't think she did a great job even though I told her it would be difficult due to the size (smallness of my veins). Also I did tell them about my VEDS which of course they didn't know anything about, then when they put the contrast in I started to get the warm all over feeling but then my arm started to hurt where the IV was and I turned to look at it and it started to puff out ...of course I yelled to them and then they did more turn in the CT and then came over to take the IV out. It started to leak inside and I guess my question is How dangerous if at all is that? also is there any concern re VEDS? They told me to put warm compresses on it today and that it would absorb into my body and it would probably take half a day to get bakc to normal. I know that my arm will be black & blue soon. It is still swollen & hard right now but it has only been a couple of hours. Any advice, suggestions would be welcome. Thanks as always Betty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
