Over-the-needle catheters have a recommended dwell time of 72 hours, a nursing standard supported by the Infusion Nursing Standards of Practice (2006: 51S) and the CDC's Guidelines for the Prevention of Intravascular Catheter-Related Infections (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2002).
Change the dressing as needed. IVs left in for an extended period of time are at a greater risk of infection than IVs used only for a single operation or procedure. To reduce the risk of infection, it's important to carefully remove the dressing, clean the site of the IV, and put a new dressing in place.
