Abstract

In Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, peripheral venous cannulation is done for administrating antibiotics, fluids and supplements. Here we introduce the fracture of i.v cannula during removal inside the blood vessel. Peripheral i.v cannulation was done in radial vein with a 20G cannula in a patient with trauma for receiving antibiotics and fluids.Under sterile conditions, the broken piece of the cannula was removed from a vein with a surgical incision and the skin was sutured.
