, The objective in this is to make sure that you have an gel of some sort to occlude the vessel track. And then cover with the TSM and the patient must remain supine x 30 minutes s/p removal. Checks thereafter are done frequently for the first hour to monitor for complication r/t removal.
Post removal, if the insertion site is covered with an occlusive substance and an occlusive dressing, why would it be necessary to remain supine s/p CVC removal?
