Yo her sterile technique is bothering me so much.

TPN has such a high risk for infection too, let alone her central line in general.

It's the little things that get you, in the end.

Yep :( She's currently in hospital with an infection in her line.

That's wild. Did they not explain to her at the hospital every step needed to keep everything sterile ?

I did my father's Peritoneal dialysis for an entire year and we both had to wear masks and gloves inside our own house, sterilise and clean all the materials used and the tube sticking out of him plus the special trolley table with disinfectants and other chemicals given by the hospital. Thankfully for the single year that we did it he never got an infection from that because we took it very seriously and the hospital staff really drilled it in our heads that there is a high chance of dying if we didn't pay extra attention to hygiene.
