I have a question regarding the practice of "looping" the end of the IV tubing to a port on the same tubing.
Was wondering how many of you have seen this practice and/or know if your hospital IV policies endorse it??
From what I understand, this practice is not recommended by the INS as their standards state, " a compatible sterile covering should be asceptically attached after each intermittent use."
This is a practice we're dealing with at my hospital but I was curious how many other places are seeing it?
