What do you do if you have a hole in a Broviac catheter?

If you discover a hole in a Broviac catheter, it is crucial to immediately clamp the catheter above the hole to prevent air from entering the bloodstream and to minimize fluid loss. Notify the healthcare provider promptly for further assessment and to determine if the catheter needs to be replaced or repaired. Additionally, monitor the patient for any signs of complications, such as infection or air embolism. Do not attempt to fix the catheter yourself.
