Ok I'm scared of that nurse now. You're supposed to start at the center, and work your way out when cleaning a PICC line site. She not only started on the outer edge, but she dragged it repeated back over the site. She just contaminated that site...

PICC line dressing change 101- remove the dressing TOWARD the pt, not away like she did. And clean from the inside out- not outside in- which drags bacteria into the venous system. This video is NOT safe practice!

ahhhhhh unsterile!!! and putting that tegaderm on before the chlorhex is dry can cause skin burn.

i have mine in no for my two week treatment but mines isnt stitched in

I thought that picc lines had a statlock on then,

this is ridiculous and not at all sterile.. wow

Esta retirada do curativo filme transparente foi bruta hein! Até causou hiperemia! Se vc passar algodão umido ( com solução fisiológica ou salina ) por cima antes de remover não causa tanta agressão à pele.

I have had 3 picc lines before and i have had several dressing changes. They are not pleasant. I had mine clipped into a statlock.
Picc dressings are my absolute favorite! It may sound strange but I think they feel amazing :) lol It gets so itchy over the week that I cant wait for my skin to breathe and be itched! BUT ouch, ive never had mine stitched in like that.
