De-Accessing Implanted port, step by step guide show details
De-accessing an implanted venous port is a sterile procedure performed to safely remove a non-coring (Huber) needle from an accessed port following completion of therapy. This process requires adherence to strict aseptic technique to prevent infection, proper flushing and locking of the device per protocol, and application of an appropriate dressing to maintain site integrity. The nurse must ensure patient safety and comfort, confirm completion of ordered therapies, and monitor for complications such as bleeding, occlusion, or signs of infection.
