Last week I tried to post a question on the list serve and it took the question, but no replies, so I am trying again. Our hospital group is evaluating changing the peripheral tubings on IV's from 72 to 96 hours. If you are working in a hospital that currently uses a 96 hour change rate would you please post any thoughts that you might have on the process, any changes in infection rates that you may have seen or any studies that you have conducted. All information thankfully accepted. You may e-mail me directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you prefer. Thanks, Colette Clark RN, IV Support Sacred Heart Medical Center.
