This video will review the steps required for two people to complete a dressing change of a CVAD, using aseptic non-touch technique (ANTT).

Caregivers of children with a CVAD should review this video with their child’s health-care team before attempting any of these procedures. Before watching this video, please watch the video “CVAD Procedures: Preparing your environment” to learn how to set-up your environment before starting a CVAD procedure.

We urge you not to follow these instructions without training and advice from a health-care professional who understands your child’s unique needs.
