Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

It is important that effective catheter fixation will reduce the risk of catheter unavailability for specific reasons and the incidence of catheter-related complications. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of sterile transparent film dressing and tape methods used in pe- ripheral intravenous catheter application in newborns on the duration of catheter stay and the development of catheter-related complications.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

It has been reported that effective catheter fixation will reduce the risk of catheter unavailability for specific reasons and the incidence of catheter-related complications. Intravenous cannulas are usually fixed with a thin board, a bandage, and tape. There is no standard way of using PIVC dressings in Turkey. After the catheter is inserted into the vein, gauze and a blaster, sterile transparent dressing materials, or just a blaster, are used to prevent contact of the fixed part and the area of intervention with the external environment. Transparent dressing used for catheter fixation contribute to a more comfortable evaluation of the catheter entry site. It has been suggested that the use of transparent film dressing may be effective in preventing and early detection of catheter-related complications. Moreover, it was concluded that due to the short duration of the procedure, it reduced the cost of manpower, and nurses could devote more time to other patients.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Experimental group: The group applied sterile transparent film dressing

The nurses in the unit were trained by the charge nurse of the clinic on catheter-related complications (infiltration, extravasation, phlebitis, and occlusion), the scales used in the study, and the use of sterile transparent film dressing. In the experimental group, a sterile transparent film dressing was used to fix the catheter and was monitored hourly until the catheter was removed.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Use of sterile transparent film dressing

Intervention Type OTHER

The nurses in the unit were trained by the charge nurse of the clinic on catheter-related complications (infiltration, extravasation, phlebitis, and occlusion), the scales used in the study, and the use of sterile transparent film dressing. In the experimental group, a sterile transparent film dressing was used to fix the catheter and was monitored hourly until the catheter was removed. The infiltration scale for infants, , the criteria of extravasation (Redness accompanied by a vesicle, tissue necrosis, and ulcer), and The Phlebitis Scale were used to evaluate the catheter site.

Control group: The group applied fixed with a tape (blaster)

The nurses in the unit were trained by the charge nurse of the clinic on catheter-related complications (infiltration, extravasation, phlebitis, and occlusion), the scales used in the study, and the use of sterile transparent film dressing. In the control group, the catheter was fixed with a tape (blaster), routinely used in the clinic, and was monitored hourly until the catheter was removed.
