When we revised the current INS standards of practice ~2005, we looked at all the data and came up with the current standard. A PIV can be used for obtaining a blood sample when it is first inserted and when it has been inserted strictly for the purpose of drawing blood samples over a short term such as repeated sampling over 48 hours.Catheters used for sampling should not be used for infusion. This standard has a long list of references on page 72 of the document.
