pt had port on 5/11, accessed on the same day.

has been bleeding around the needle since then (pt has
bleeding disorder, on twice a day transfusion).

we put gauze around the needle to absorb the drainage
and daily dressing change, only change the needle once
a week.

a daily dressing change is pretty hard on a 5 years
old; also wonder if the practice is too frequent.

any suggestion?
