| Replacement and relocation of catheter |
| Do not routinely replace peripheral arterial catheters. |
| Perform inspection of site daily for signs of infection, distal ischemia, or embolization. |
| Replace disposable or reusable transducers at 96-hours intervals. Replace other components of the system, including tubing, continuous flush device, and flush solutions at the time the transducer is changed. |
| Replacement of catheter-site dressing |
| Replace dressing when the catheter is removed or replaced, or when the dressing becomes damp, loosened, or soiled. Replace dressings more frequently in diaphoretic patients. |
| There is no need to remove a gauze or opaque dressing if the patient has no clinical signs of infection. |
| Replacement of administration sets |
| Replace the intravenous tubing, continuous flush device at the time the transducer is replaced (ie, 96-hour intervals). |
| Hang time for parenteral fluids |
| Replace the flush solution at the time the transducer is replaced (ie, 96-hour intervals). |
