In desprate need of help!

I need some information and references fast! I need to know how long we can leave IV sites in....I know it used to be 72 hours but recently I heard it was now 96 hours.....if someone could please let me know the new standard and a link to where I can go look at an print the information I would greatly appreciate it. We have to ammend our policy to go live on our online documentation project and "Go Live Day" is sneaking up on us!

Thanks so much!:confused:

Shellsie,

In the last few days or so I had seen something similar at work but can't recall specifics because we don't deal with longer-term IV access as a rule (I work flight and ED--Heaven help us if we have our patients that long!). But your question intrigued me and I searched...you might give this a shot: www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/rr5110a1.htm. You can also go to the CDC's Web site (www.cdc.gov) and use their search function. The terms I used were "intravenous replacement". They have a lot of good epidemiological info and maybe one of their articles will help.

Good luck!
