Brief Summary

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

While medical adhesives provide fixation of devices and catheters in neonatal intensive care, problems such as disruption of skin integrity are frequently encountered when removed. The study aims to compare the effectiveness of sunflower oil and silicone-based remover spray used during the removal of medical adhesives used in oragastric catheter fixation in preterm babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in preventing skin damage.

Detailed Description

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

Use of materials such as an endotracheal tube, orogastric catheter, nasal cannula, and peripheral vein catheter, which are frequently used in neonatal intensive care.

Medical adhesives are needed for fixing. While medical adhesives provide fixation of devices and catheters in neonatal intensive care, problems such as disruption of skin integrity are frequently encountered when removed. Many materials are being tested and developed in clinics to reduce this risk.Skin barrier products minimize trauma in the removal of medical adhesives by creating a protective layer between the epidermis and the adhesive.

Silicone-based spray removers, one of the skin barrier products, are used in the entire patient population, including newborns.Silicone-based spray removers leave residue on the skin as they evaporate easily. doesn't let go. Since it does not contain alcohol, it does not cause pain. Sunflower oil is a traditional method for premature When used in baby massage applied to babies, it increases the weight gain and height growth of babies and reduces the morbidity rate.The study aims to compare the effectiveness of sunflower oil and silicone-based remover spray used during the removal of medical adhesives used in oragastric catheter fixation in preterm babies in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in preventing skin damage.

Study Groups

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

Sunflower Oil Group

In the experimental group, patch removal will be performed using sunflower oil instead of silicone-based spray remover, which is the routine of the clinic. In children in the experimental group, the patch that has stuck to the baby's skin and needs to be changed is planned to be removed by applying sunflower oil on the patch.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Sunflower oil

Intervention Type OTHER

In the experimental group, patch removal will be performed using sunflower oil.

Control group

In the clinic, the orogastric catheter is fixed above the lip (mustache area) with a hypoallergenic patch. In cases where the oral gastric catheter needs to be replaced or the adhesive patch needs to be renewed, hypoallergenic patches attached to the skin may cause tape abrasions and scratches on the newborn's skin when removed.Silicone-based spray removers are used to avoid causing injuries.

In the control group in the study, a silicone-based spray remover was used, which is the routine of the clinic, during the removal of hypoallergenic patches attached to the lip (moustache area) to fix the oragastric catheter.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Slicone based spray

Intervention Type OTHER

In the control group, clinical routine procedure will be used to remove the patch (silicone based spray.
