Here at Fauquier Hospital we make sure that every line is inserted under sterile tchnique. We use a drap that covers the entire patient from head to toe. Everyone in the room wears a mask. We assess daily the removal of a central line. If a femoral line is placed we remove in 24 hours. We use biopatch with every dressing change and every central line dressing is changed every wednesday. We clean the site with chlorohexadine. Dressing changes are done with a mask on the face.
