| Abstract | This randomized controlled trial in the home setting, found no difference in the combined phlebitis and occlusion rate of peripheral intravenous catheters (n=316) routinely resited at 72-96 hours, and those replaced only on clinical indication (76.8 and 87.3 per 1000 device days respectively, p=0.71). There were no bloodstream infections. |
