  • good video, very, very informative. one thing, though, why would you use unsterile gloves when removing a tagaderm? wouldn't you use sterile gloves for the whole thing?

  • the tegaderm that is currently on is an old one and therefor is dirty.You use the unsterile gloves to remove the old tegaderm. Once this is off, put on a sterile glove since you will be working on the clean area.

  • actually good job..hospitals have different P & P's.

  • Good video, congratulations!

  • The PICC Line was not actually inserted into the patient as stated a the beginning..it was taped under tagaderm to hold it in place for demonstration purposes..they should have used a real PICC line.

  • 4:49 that stuff stings like hell the first time you get a dressing change, and the tape hurts bad too.

  • Aside from the patient shirt sleeve hovering over the exposed site, scary idea. The skin surrounding the insertion site has not been cleansed in this video. I see a taped gauze dressing being cleaned with Chloraprep and the Biopatch (effective when placed DIRECTLY on skin) applied on top of a gauze/telfa dressing!

    This video teaches a technique that could increase CRBSI occurances due to incomplete information.

    Please review sterile procedures...

  • i understand that the tagaderm is dirty, don't get me wrong. But, wouldn't you still want to use clean gloves to remove it? Using dirty could still result in the patient getting some sort of disease, couldn't it?
