Heparinized vs Nonheparinzed saline in arterial lines
|
|
What are you using in your transudced arterial lines, a Heparized solultion, if so what is your concentration OR nonheparinized saline?

Ours come up from surgery with heparinized saline, but when that bag runs out, we change over to normal.

Nonheparinised, now heperinised saline is stale to use as a continous flush for arterial and other transducer lines. New studies show it is contraindicated and raising the chance of bleeding in those who already have abnormal coagulation as we use heparinised as our old practice. so for now only non-hep.

Our hospital is considering switching from Heparinized flushes....to Normal Saline. I have only been able to find replacement of heparin with saline for peripheral line flushes only. Please let me know if Saline flushes for ALL lines is becoming more common practice or not worth exploring.
Thanks.
