@ognecro I think if you're leaving the line in (vs. just for a surgical case) I would vote for sutures. As an ICU nurse I had several pts pull them out using adhesives--usually from delerium, but at least one came out when the IV tubing got caught and d/c'd the line. We returned to sutures as the incidence of this grew.
i agree. however, i've never seen a suture used to secure the port. i work at vanderbilt medical center and have only seen ports secured with copius tape or a three sided adhesive dressing... has anyone else recently seen or performed a suture immobilization?
he was a hobo and they paid him to eat dinner and drew anatomic survey on him for sure

@summitk2 Good point, summitk2. I think most of the adhesive cases I saw involved patients that were AAOx3.
