> There seems to be controversy about using heparin –vs. - saline to
flush multi-lumen catheters. The traditional method of flushing
each port Q 8 hrs with heparin flush is a bit much. However, I have
found a clotted port or two when just saline is used to flush. It
would seem reasonable to flush with heparin only once every 24
hours, as this is how a PICC is maintained. What is the current
practice recommendation?
