The demonstrations and aseptic technique are awesome, however I must add to never recap by holding. Please use the scoop method to prevent distractions causing needle stick.
Use the 'fishing' method to recap a needle--chase the cap with the needle on the syringe and then use the tabletop to 'click' it back into the cap. Capped needles are less of a problem than uncapped needles, unfortunately.
@b4yonce I'm in high school so I'm not an expert on this; however, I do believe that the venting needle is to equalize the pressure inside the vial as you insert fluid contained in the diluent syringe. Hope that helps. Again, I'm only in high school so I could be wrong.
This video is not that old, I am surprised that the technician is not wearing a mask or goggles. It is for the protection of the technician but also the patient receiving that drug...
Yes, it's good to hold the vial and syringe in a 90 degree angle or close to it if you're working in a vertical flow hood so you don't block the airflow.
Yeah never re-cap a needle. Even if the only risk is a sterile needle scratches you that requires filling an accident report if you do. There are self-sheathing needles if you can't keep a waste box in the cabinet.
Good thing you're using the the ring and pinky fingers otherwise you might stick yourself in one of the other fingers that are attached to your body, who know what might happen then.
Some drugs expel gas on reconstitution, so a vent provides escape for pressure build-up. But, the most significant use of a vented needle is for use in cytotoxic anti-neoplastic or chemotherapy preparations to draw up reconstituted liquid by preventing toxic, aerosolized materials from leaving the container during filling.

4.03: did you hear about safe needle capping? )
When I tell people who aren't in healthcare what we do as pharmacy technicians, and they have no idea what I'm talking about, I show them this! 😁
thank you so much for this these detailed demonstrations!!! i appreciate them very much!!! I have been looking for these demonstrations for months!!!!
we noted, operator had recapped used needle. Recap used needle would cause sharp injury. Used needle should be discarded into sharps box.

correct

4.28 - did u hear about wipeing away from yourself ? )
3.18 - did u hear about critical site?)
seriously, who made the music
my book says to poke the needle at a 45 degree angle and withdraw the drug at at 90 degree angle....
Yes, it's good to hold the vial and syringe in a 90 degree angle or close to it if you're working in a vertical flow hood so you don't block the airflow.
Touch at 45 degrees, push the needle in at 90. This way your needle ends up in the correct location, and you don't miss the bung.
Mine says 20 degrees

***** Google "passively recapping needles"
+sempifi99 I hold the needle cap between the knuckles of my ringer finger and pinkie just in case I need to recap the needle.

whats the purpose of a venting needle
Some drugs expel gas on reconstitution, so a vent provides escape for pressure build-up. But, the most significant use of a vented needle is for use in cytotoxic anti-neoplastic or chemotherapy preparations to draw up reconstituted liquid by preventing toxic, aerosolized materials from leaving the container during filling.
on my mama I am never gonna pass the PTCE....this course makes me feel stupid as all get out.
What about her paper gown? That is definitely not hazardous hood ppe.
Very interesting Video !!
Thank you. Totally needed a refresher
She was blocking the air flow from the viel
Also I based that on an observation I made when she removed the plunger from the venting needle.
Thanks
this music slaps
You must inject the same amount of air you will be pulling out for zero air bubbles
You'll still get bubbles a lot of the time lol, in my experience, but that also depends on the substance being drawn
@@brownicusfutiv2175 very true
Thank you!
Waooo! this is interesting!!!!!.
Its to protect the people in the hospital when people dispense IVs and other serious medication.
