Review Key Tips for Prepping Antimicrobial Lock Therapy
May 2025
You’re on the front lines to prepare antimicrobial lock therapy (ALT) for treating IV-line infections.
It’s usually best to remove infected IV lines. But some can’t be taken out due to long-term chemotherapy, limited IV access, etc.
ALT offers a way to salvage these lines. Antimicrobials aren’t infused...they only stay and “dwell” in the IV line instead. The solution is then taken out of the line several hours later.
