When changing your central lines, if you have lipids Y'd into your TPN are you changing your lipid lines every 24 hours down to the Y, and then changing the Y with the TPN lines every 72 hours? We been struggling with the thought that everthing with lipids running in it should be changed every 24 hours, but don't want to change all lines that frequently
