POSITION PORT AND CLOSE INCISION SITE
1.
Place the port in the subcutaneous pocket away from the incision
line. This will reduce the risk of port migration and the possibility
of it flipping over. Secure the port to the underlying fascia using
non-absorbable, monofilament sutures. Leave sufficient slack in
the catheter to permit slight movement, and verify that the catheter
is not kinked.
2.
After suturing the port in the pocket, flush the wound with an
appropriate antibiotic solution.
3.
Conduct flow studies on the catheter using a non-coring needle
and 10ml syringe to confirm that the flow is not obstructed, that no
leak exists, and that the catheter is correctly positioned.
4.
Aspirate to confirm the ability to draw blood.
5.
Flush and heparin lock the port system as described under
"Heparin Lock Procedure". Remember that some patients may
be hypersensitive to heparin or suffer from heparin induced
thromboctopenia (HIT) and caution should be used when using
heparinized saline to lock the port.
6.
After therapy completion, flush port per institutional protocol.
7.
Close the incision site, so that the port does not lie beneath the
incision.
8.
Apply dressing according to hospital practice.
