Removing an Implanted Port Needle

[@michaelmko7055]

You comment that you will hear a click that the safety device has been activated. Unfortunately your video does not show this (3:03 - 3:10). There is a high risk of sharp needle injury.

My port needles have a locking mechanism

Do you flush saline after heparin? If not, why?

[@rimidtren]

Is it necessary to inject heparin after expiration for example Sol. NaCl 0.9% 500ml, knowing that the patient has the same solution tomorrow. Or is heparin only injected when the needle is removed?

[@jessicajarsak7812]

Heparin is used if the port will not be used. I have a port.

How many days we can use chemo needle.

[@jessicajarsak7812]

I believe the minimum is 7 days.

How much ml heparine flush

[@jessicajarsak7812]

It depends on the port. I use the yellow capped one. But I know there is a blue capped one.
