IV tubing for central lines should typically be changed every 72 to 96 hours, depending on institutional protocols and the patient's condition. For intermittent IVs, such as those used for antibiotics, the tubing should generally be changed every 24 hours or after every use, to reduce the risk of infection. Always refer to specific guidelines and best practices provided by your healthcare facility.
