About this book

Comprehensive and professional care for people with ports! 

This book offers nurses and medical professionals comprehensive knowledge for the care of people with ports. Starting with the selection and indication for port placement, through dressing changes and hygiene guidelines, to everyday handling - here you will find expert knowledge at the highest level! The authors come from different professional groups and show that good interprofessional cooperation is essential for the successful treatment of patients with a port.


This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Portpflege by Roland Hennes and Gisela Müller, published by Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature in 2020. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.
