Thanking you for the precious tips and hints of the nurse's daily practices, I'd like to share my technique I usually follow during the removal of the needle - catheter, that is quite similar of yours. 1. Hold firmly the index finger on top of the access point, hold firmly the thumb over the skin, close to the extreme angle of the first "wing" of the transparent adhesive tape. 2. Rip off the first "wing" of the tape, until it leaves loose the wing of the needle it was attached over. 3. Rip off the second "wing" of the tape. 4. Hold firmly the joint needle-tube point attached to the skin, with the thumb. 5. Rip off the whole tape, quickly, because it really hurts, especially to the men. 6. Put a little ball of gaze over the access point and pull off gently the needle and put over the top the adhesive tape, pushing firmly the little ball of gaze, in order to tap the hole, and compress simultaneously the area around it. Sorry for my poor english. Regards!

I'm so glad for this video. I have seen first hand how nurses remove IV without proper hygiene and without gloves!!!! Really sad😥 .

You are a wonderful teacher. From an old retired nurse

Such a really good tutor I like your all content ❤️love from india🇮🇳

pro tip: you can use alcohol/a prep pad to help if the tape is really stuck to a patient with very brittle skin / a very hairy patient. just lightly brush the tape with alcohol to assist in safe removal. NOTE: this is for the tape only, not the Tegaderm. keep it away from the site! ouch!

I'm going to apply to nursing school soon, so thanks for making this video. It helps!

Thank you! I've been using your video as my guide, your tips really helped me a lot as a Nursing student 😊

Omg thank you. The rehabilitation/nursing home forgot to take my friends iv out. We didn't know until we got home..

1:45 oh that explains why i had a huge bruise bc the nurse just ripped it out and told me i could go. didn't say i needed to put pressure or anything and it bled quite a bit

Great job removing the iv!

The tape always sticks to my gloves and RIP them apart. I feel so embarrassed when it happens 💔

Thanks Teacher I from Somali

Thank you Nurse Sarah for refreshing my skill.

Thanks for the quick video! It was a great refresher

Many use sterile gauze and many use cotton balls. Cotton is not sterile, so which is proper?

So good..congratulations from Brazil.

Thank you nurse Sarah❤

I got a question so what if I had an IV in the part where you have blood tests and it was just ripped out by the doctor instead of it being done like that, is that bad?
