A member asked:

Can a vein blow 13 days after being used to administer iv fluids for dehydration?

Dr. Rebecca Gliksman answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Vein blowing: Possible but not usual because it is 13 days out , but the vein was traumatized and so once traumatized rare things can happen up to 3 months afterward( usually body parts heal totally after 3 months for a rule of thumb) . F/u/ w/ doc
