The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recently stated that peripheral intravenous (I.V.) lines may stay in place for 96 hours, as long as they are functioning well and the patient shows no signs of infection. Therefore, strategies such as better catheter securement will allow these catheters to stay in place longer and will prevent painful restarts for patients. In addition, the rate of phlebitis with a securement device is much lower.
