Dear colleagues
Thank you for previous responses.
Would any like to share if they have a policy/procedure for the hanging of IV lines?
At the Canberra Hospital we had a policy for length of time an iv line could be used before needing to be changed but it seems to have dropped off.
We have had the question from the wards regarding small infusions, eg antibiotics. Do the lines need to be changed with each new infusion?
Also once a bag is spiked how long can the bag be hung before being used with and without additives.Kind regards
Heather

No doubt Claire Rickard will have an opinion but here is a start.
