Title: Re: TPN infusion tubing changes

Yes, the INS standards were brought in line with the CDC guidelines on this issue. Tubing for all parenteral nutrition can be changed every 72 hours. If fat emulsion is being piggybacked or is admixed into the PN, this would require a tubing change at 24 hours. Lynn

I have not had the opportunity to review the updated INS standards manuel  but I've heard that the recommendation on tubing changes for TPN infusions is now every 72 hours.  Is this correct?  Was this based on CDC recommendations?  Thanks for your help!
