Port in the arm instead of the chest

[Vtachy1]

One of our nurses tried unsuccessfully to flush a port in a patient's arm. Is there a secret? We ordered EMLA cream to numb the area as it is very painful for this patient when it is flushed.

So do they move a lot or get flipped over? If I flush the thing what are the tricks?? She was in a great amount of pain, so that makes it even harder.

Boy, do I hate those passports. Slippery little buggers.
