I was wondering if anyone knew how long an IV should be left in? For example if someone is on a antibiotic drip, if it is dry should it be removed right away or can it be left on? Also if someone is on a oxygen/Inubulizer I believe is what its called treatment, how long should that be left on? Should it be left on just for as long as the medication lasts or should the oxygen be left on longer? Thanks.
