VascularAccess: yes, of course...RT @InfusionNurse: T1 - if fluids infusing, turn off then flush, draw,
discard, then collect the specimens.. #IVchat
7/9/2010 13:21
IVchat: T1- seems like most r doing same procedure. Any1 drawing via endcap or hub to hub?
#IVchat
7/9/2010 13:23
VascularAccess: T1 - we remove cap, directly from the hub, then put new cap after draw...#Ivchat
7/9/2010 13:25
InfusionNurse: T1 - hub to hub... #IVchat
7/9/2010 13:26
IVchat: T1 - discard blood is meant to be discarded - any1 giving it back? #IVchat
7/9/2010 13:29
VascularAccess: yeah, this is how we do it also...RT @VascularAccess: T1 - we remove cap, directly from
the hub, then put new cap after draw...#Ivchat
7/9/2010 13:29
PICCNurse: T1 - why would you reinfuse the discard sample? #Ivchat
7/9/2010 13:30
InfusionNurse: T1 - if only small volume is w/drawn, shouldnt compromise pts. Sometimes this is done in
peds/neonates.. #IVchat
7/9/2010 13:33
VascularAccess: T1 - not sure I agree with reinfusing discard sample, esp. if not keep sterile during
procedure..imo..#Ivchat
7/9/2010 13:35
IVchat: T2 - drawing bld. cultures from CVAD, would you collect the first sample drawn or collect
after the discard sample is drawn? #IVchat
7/9/2010 13:37
PICCNurse: i agree..RT @VascularAccess: T1 - not sure I agree with reinfusing discard sample, esp. if
not keep sterile during procedure..imo..#Ivchat
7/9/2010 13:40
VascularAccess: T1 - honestly have not collected bld cultures from a central line for a long time, most of
ours r drawn peripherally...#IVchat
7/9/2010 13:42
InfusionNurse: T2 - for bld. cultures, u would want to obtain the first sample drawn... #IVchat
7/9/2010 13:44
VascularAccess: T2 - @infusionnurse - so collecting bld. cultures would b different from collecting other lab
specimens? #IVchat
7/9/2010 13:47
InfusionNurse: yes, no discard 4 bld cultureRT @VascularAccess: T2 - so collecting bld. cultures would b
different collecting other lab specimens? #IVchat
7/9/2010 13:48
InfusionNurse: @PICCNurse ..thought is first sample drawn will be more indicative of any problems...
#IVchat
7/9/2010 13:51
IVchat: We have 5 minutes left...any final thoughts??? #IVchat

specimen and not false results.. #IVchat
