Those airbubles, before the heparine is added :-/
Good basic video but a few errors. Nice refresher though
As someone who is board certified in vascular access, I can say this video is incorrect. Please be careful if you are modeling your practice after what you see here.
Can u recommend a gd video demo pls?
Needs the luer locks- no needles needed
This is a video that should be for what not to do. It is incorrect in many ways.
These can be a pain to change
This is an outdated method…
Can someone explain what is incorrect about the video.
You must be so careful changing these! The nurse before me changed the caps but didn’t tighten them enough. One fell off & there was no clamp on that port. When I entered the room, the patient was having a stroke. She had coughed & air bubbles entered the tube into her heart. I had to testify against my coworker describing what I found. It was a terrible situation for all involved!
Sooooo WRONG!!!!!!
This info is so passé
Good demo pls…
