Re: trouble getting an IV

I still use the old butterfly tape technique using a thin piece
of tape around the port on either side crossing the ends of
tape over one another above the site and taping it down in
and then putting an opsite (or other type actually on the tip
of the port) on, then after I connect the tubing, I use one
or two pieces of 1" tape over the tuping taping it down
proximal to the site itself.  Looks like a lot of tape but
I don't often have problems loosing the site!
