I'm trying to find more education on replogles in the NICU. We most often use them for NEC, but still don't see on my unit often at all. It seems like all the education I look up is to flush them every 15 minutes, which definitely nobody does here. I've actually never seen it charted that anyone flushed one. Do they really need to be flushed this often or more PRN? Do I flush with regular saline?
