Accessing an Implanted Port

[@nlbhaduri]

This is NOT sterile technique. Why? There are multiple errors in this video: First, if you are going to create a sterile field, DON’T wear any garment that could potentially swing into the field and contaminate it. Her frilly sleeves are a risk. Her wrist watch is a huge area of risk. Second, long hair should be pulled back and secured. Third, on opening the Huber style 90 deg needle packaging onto the sterile field the outer dirty packaging touches the field. RIGHT HERE THE STERILITY IS BROKEN. RESTART THE ENTIRE SET UP. Anyway, I am both a patient and an advanced practice nurse working in the OR. Pleases show correct methods for the entire process or what’s the point?

Your port brand doesn’t matter when accessing/deaccessing port. They are reviewing the technique…..
