Good that you stated scrub not “paint” prep, chlorhexidine Also excellent to allow the area to dry not fan the sterile are to be accessed!

Absolutely stabilize the port before accessing the port with the Huber needle

Infection Control Tip: do not allow the sterile drape to be touched and then unfolded over the edge of the dressing tray - you just contaminated your tray

At approximately timestamp 1:50 she lets the edge of the sterile drape cover the edge of the sterile tray momentarily. The non-sterile side of the drape (created when she pinched it to pick it up) slaps the tray’s left edge AND IMMEDIATELY CONTAMINATES THE WHOLE THING. Technically THIS FEILD IS NOT STERILE. IF THIS HAPPENED IN THE OPERATING ROOM, SHE WOULD BE EATEN ALIVE.

I've been doing port care at home for almost ten years. I'm going to be doing iv fluids at home soon. Can you please show how to do that part in a separate video?

It’s usually printed on the front of the outer packaging

FYI Bio patches are being phased out in the next few years for the chlorhexidine impregnated tegaderm dressings that all emergency room and hospitals hopefully will stock 👍

Confirm the location is correct (the patient will tell you if there is pain when administering saline), if no pain, push through a 10ml posiflush fast as there could be slight overgrowth on the interior catheter. If still no flashback, consult with an IV CNS about administering tPa

I know this is an old video. The preformed syringes are not sterile; only the tips under the caps and the fluid are sterile. Hands should be cleaned before donning sterile gloves.

These particular Saline Flushes ARE sterile, coming in sterile packaging. Typical saline flushes used daily are what you are referring to which are only sterile under the caps. Again, the ones used in this video are different and are completely sterile and are specifically completely sterilized so they can be introduced into the sterile field.

In the or we'd open onto the larger field. The plunger of the syringes hanging over the dressing packaging is no longer considered sterile. I would have opened onto the larger field. Different technique , I guess.
