[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Former RN: Thanks for the info. That is good food for thought. Question, by "saline lock", do you mean an IV that administers only saline, or a hep lock?[/quote] Saline lock is an IV "lock" (capped off IV, mot connected to fluids) that is flushed with saline rather than heparin. It used to be standard practice that all were flushed with heparin but many hospital have moved away from that and instead flush with plain saline. The term "heplock" is a bit like "Kleenex" in that people may use it interchangeably even though it's a slightly different product. [/quote]
