Students learn requirements for a sterile product preparation area, including equipment in the area, and aseptic techniques for compounding piggyback medications, large volume parenterals, parenteral nutrition and sterile irrigation solutions. Review of special procedures and equipment for hazardous product preparation, including chemotherapy, will be included. Students learn the importance of in-line filters, specialized infusion tubing and protecting certain products from environmental exposure. Technologies such as the central line, PIC lines, infusion ports, and peripheral catheters used in administering sterile products, and OSHA standards for healthcare workers and patients, are addressed.
