Here's a quick tutorial on how to suction a trach using sterile gloves technique.

"Please don't do that on a real patient!" 😂 The hilarity and horror movie vibes gave me quite a laugh as a nurse with a portacath in his chest!

[@shaani7978]

Thank you! I was getting confused but this was extremely helpful!

[@emmapariera5210]

You forgot broviac. My sister has one. There not very common anymore because most people have ports

[@MollyASMD]

As someone who has a port myself I absolutely loved and appreciated this video:)

PICC s also can go into the chest, and that DOES need Hep..Had it for TPN for 15mths

[@carlosdeoleza]

Very stressy and confusing way to explain that next time take a breath and a tea

Non tunneled is tripled lumen, tunneled is doubled

[@_nurse.lian_]

Non tunneled can be double, triple up to quad lumen. PICC can be single up to quad as well. Regardless of the position, lumens can vary.

Thank you so kuch

Is the tunneled same as hikman?

[@_nurse.lian_]

Hickman is more of a brand of the product. We have Groshong as well, as their direct competitor.

This isn’t central line!

[@_nurse.lian_]

These are central lines, they are just in different parts of the body.
