ASHP Therapeutic Position Statement on the Institutional Use of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection To Maintain Patency of Peripheral Indwelling Intermittent Infusion Devices

Findings from this project support the current literature base suggesting that the use of heparin is unnecessary for the maintenance of IV access devices. Unnecessary exposure of neonates to heparin increases risk to patient safety and should therefore be avoided. Future research should examine the use of heparin in central lines in neonates. Findings additionally support educating staff prior to practice changes.
