Is anyone aware of any literature that discusses injection cap changes? I am particularly interested in relation to injection cap changes in regards to blood sampling. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The only articles I know of are about drawing blood cultures through used, and therefore colonized, needleless connectors. See the INS standards for those references, one in JIN and a poster than has since been published. This literature search for the standards was completed in early 2010. I have not seen anything else since then. Lynn
