Brief Summary

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

The study was conducted to determine the effect of fixing peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) with additional circular dressing material on the duration of PIVC stay and complications related to peripheral intravenous catheterization. In our study, a comparison was made of PIVCs applied to patients in the control (fixation of PIVC with a sterile transparent dressing) and intervention (fixation of PIVC with a sterile transparent dressing and application of an elastane circular dressing on it) groups in a public hospital in Turkey. All-cause PIVC failure was significantly higher in the intervention group (70.2%) compared to the control group (45.5%). It has been determined that fixing the PIVC with additional circular dressing material prolongs the duration of PIVC stay at the site.

Detailed Description

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

This study was conducted as a randomized controlled study to determine the effect of fixing the peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) with additional circular dressing material on the duration of stay of the peripheral intravenous catheter and complications related to peripheral intravenous catheterization. In our study, a comparison was made of PIVCs applied to patients in the control (fixation of PIVC with a sterile transparent dressing) and intervention (fixation of PIVC with a sterile transparent dressing and application of an elastane circular dressing on it) groups in a public hospital in Turkey. In our study, PIVC failure was defined as PIVC removal before the end of treatment due to phlebitis, infiltration, accidental dislodgement, occlusion, and leakage. A total of 91 (47 intervention, 44 control) participants were included in the study between April 2023 and September 2023. All-cause PIVC failure was significantly higher in the intervention group (70.2%) compared to the control group (45.5%). It was determined that fixing the PIVC with additional circular dressing material prolongs the duration of PIVC stay at the site. It is recommended that this study be conducted with a different patient population and multicenter.

Study Groups

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

Intervention Group (Elastane circular dressing on sterile transparent dressing)

A peripheral intravenous catheter was placed by following all the steps applied to the control group. A circular dressing made of elastane material was placed on the patients in the intervention group on a sterile transparent dressing to provide additional fixation on the peripheral intravenous catheter. There is no need to remove additional circular dressings during intravenous therapy.

The peripheral intravenous catheter was monitored for 72 hours with 8-hour observations. Peripheral intravenous catheter was evaluated for infiltration, phlebitis, pain, obstruction, dressing stability, and leakage.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Intervention Type COMBINATION_PRODUCT

A circular dressing made of elastane material was placed on the patients in the intervention group on a sterile transparent dressing to provide additional fixation on the peripheral intravenous catheter.

Control group (fixation of PIVC with a sterile transparent dressing)

Peripheral intravenous catheter application was performed by the researcher in accordance with all steps. In the study, only patients who received a 20-gauge peripheral intravenous catheter were followed. The patient's peripheral intravenous catheter was fixed by the researcher with a sterile transparent dressing.

The peripheral intravenous catheter was monitored for 72 hours with 8-hour observations. Peripheral intravenous catheter was evaluated for infiltration, phlebitis, pain, obstruction, dressing stability, and leakage.
