Central line troubleshooting for parents of a child with a tunneled CVAD

Parents of children who have a Central Venous Access Device (CVAD) or Central Venous Catheter receive training to be able to troubleshoot issues with the central line. This video shows the parenteral nutrition nurse providing training to a parent. She shows what parents should do when their child's dressing comes loose; has a raised temperature; signs of infection, bleeding close to the exit site, the clamp or end of the line; and what they should do when the line is accidentally pulled out.
The What? Why? Children in Hospital charity makes videos about hospital tests and treatments to help parents and children prepare for hospital and show them what will happen.
The charity now has 61 videos about hospital on topics such as nasogastric tube feeding, gastrostomy tube feeding, ECG, Echo, EEG, Ultrasound, Xray, allergy test, breathing tests, general anaesthetics, exercise tolerance test, hearing tests, getting a cannula and physiotherapy for children with Juvenile Arthritis and children with Cerebral Palsy.
