Iv in arm, at home for night, it's full blood should i be worried? i don't go back till late afternoon

You need better conn: You need a better connection with your health team who has sent you home with an iv. Make contact with them and make sure you have 24 hour access to your medical team...Otherwise do not go home with an IV in your arm. Collection of blood into the tubing can cause malfunction of the IV and needs quick attention.
