When John was in Hopkins, they too had very strict protocols for their infusion lines and connections. While we were there, they implemented a new rule on how long the IV tubing can be. They really shorted it so that it would not touch the ground ever. The patient really felt tethered to the IV pole. They got lots of complaints from the patients.

Always glad someone is working on infection control.
