Dressings


Is changing an S/P tube dressing a sterile procedure?
One book I have says yes, but everyone tells me no.

Thanks

I would say that it is a "clean" procedure.

Not a sterile procedure...use aseptic technique but no need to use sterile drapes, gloves,etc. Hardly anything is a sterile procedure these days.
