Cannula blocking occurs when the flow of fluids through a cannula is obstructed, typically due to the formation of a clot, kinking of the cannula, or the presence of debris.

Regular monitoring and maintenance of cannulas are essential to prevent blocking and ensure proper function. In cases of blockage, appropriate interventions may be needed, such as flushing the cannula or replacing it.
