Central Lines Home Skills Kit
The Surgical Patient Education Central Lines Home Skills Kit provides
patients with comprehensive, interactive materials to enable learning and
practicing of the skills needed for optimal postoperative recovery. This program
will walk you through: understanding your central line (CVAD), skills to manage
your central line, problem solving, home management tips, as well as other
resources. Each skills kit contains: practice equipment (syringes, tubing,
needleless connector, alcohol wipes, gloves, and practice model), a DVD with
skill demonstration, an instruction booklet with images, a self-assessment
checklist, and references for additional support. The Central Lines Home Skills
Kit was developed by a multidisciplinary program of the American College of
Surgeons Division of Education and has been funded in part by a grant from
Teleflex.
