TPN Disconnection
Does anyone have a formal policy or procedure for appropriate actions to take when a TPN becomes disconnected? Our formal stance is to not disconnect the line at all if possible. If something happens to interrupt the line we typically advise not to re-connect a TPN due to infectious risk but I haven't been able to find any great resources to back up this recommendation.
