  • Very nice video but what about infection control? Shouldn't a sterile probe cover be used? What if the needle touches the probe before it enters the ptient.

  • @agubbini

    you can sterilize the probe with a germicidal wipe, just like sterilizing the skin

  • A sterile probe cover could be used, but isn't generally necessary.The probe can be chemically disinfected before use and sterile lube can be used. Remember that this is a peripheral IV access technique and is aseptic rather than sterile.

  • Extremely clear and very helpful. Thanks!

  • @armypafry we have sterile sheaths that we put over the probe.

  • kimmie 1904, I clean the probe after every IV and also place an opsite over the probe. Also, sterile KY jelly (individual packet for each patient) works like a charm.

  • awesome video it gives us a very clean understanding of ultrasound guided intravenous peripheral line placement

  • We watched the whole family! Liked!

  • Boo... how about infection control?
