IV site changes/tubing changes???

[babies_r_us]

Hi just wondering how often people are changing IV site, bags and tubing?? We are currently re-doing our policies and wondering if items need to be changed as often as we are doing....q 24 hours on bags, q 72 hours on sites and tubing. Also does anyone know what the CDC recommendation for this is?? We will be researching from newborn to geriatric population and also those that come in with an IV started in the field and how soon to change that site. Thanks in advance for any help that you can give on this topic. Sharon

I have been under the impression that IV sites and tubing were to be changed every 96hrs. I must look into the CDC site to see if anything has changed.
