  schema:description "A port is a small disc under the skin of the chest or arm that lets nurses give treatment and take blood through a special needle. Each time it is used the nurse should clean their hands and your skin, check that blood comes back before giving treatment and flush it with salt water, and between courses it is usually flushed about every four weeks."@en ;
