As I have stated before we are revising our flushing policy to match the Infusion Nurising Standards of Practice. One of the physicians on our policy committee is questioning the need for heparin. ESP with piccs. I have the Infusion Nursing standards. I know we prefer heparin also with non-valved piccs. Are there studies I can refer to?
Any help would be appreciated
If you have the INS standards then you have the list of references used to create those statements. Lynn
