How to Change a Dressing for a Hemodialysis Catheter

Watch this video to learn how and when to change a dressing for a child with a hemodialysis catheter. You should change your child's dressing if it becomes soiled with water or blood or if it comes off at home. Keeping a clean dressing on your child will limit risk of infection.

Good hand hygiene when you are wearing nail varnish and hand hygiene only consists of using gel and no actual hand washing

[@alattrill]

No apron either

[@charlierose2104]

Yeah because we use hand sanitizer during cath changes. Do you leave the patient and go wash your hands 3 times? No TF you don't.
That's not standard procedure. You don't actually do cath dressing changes do you?

The dressing removal process can be painful and it also can cause skin tears. Please consider using an adhesive remover to eliminate this unnecessary risk. Detachol is a fantastic option.

She is not aseptic. This video is missing that she needs to wash her hands and arms for at least 60 seconds to allow the antibacterial soap to start working. Using friction and a very aggressive wash is needed along with at least a minute each and every time she applies her alcohol sanitizer. Even after the 60 seconds, if your hands were put under a light you will notice the millions of germs left over. This can kill a patient not using proper aseptic techniques. Just ask the CDC, that is my training. Most hemo clinics use Nitrile exam gloves that are in a box and not sterile, nor do they hand out the bandages to shower with. I have seen nurses put on their non sterile blue gloves and then touch trash cans, pencils, door knobs and then change the sterile gauze without changing those nasty gloves. Why even wear a mask then? Also you can not have any Air Conditioning Vents blowing air and shut off any heaters, shut the doors and contain the environment. People die from mistakes. I should know, both my parents were killed on hemo and i am next.

I'm sorry for your loss of your parents. Thank you for the additional suggestions. As far as the mass goes I think wearing the mask is a good idea. I hope you do well on your treatments. Jesus loves you. Be well🙏
