An IV cannula is generally recommended to stay in situ for no longer than 72 to 96 hours, depending on the site of insertion and the type of infusion. However, if there are any signs of infection, infiltration, or phlebitis, it should be removed immediately, regardless of the duration. Regular assessment and documentation are essential to ensure patient safety and to determine the need for replacement.
