Clinical Trial Summary

Peripheral venous catheterisation is a multi-daily practice in a paediatric ward. In our pediatrics department, nurses have observed for several years now the appearance of pressure sore-like skin lesions at the junction of the peripheral venous catheter with the extension tube. A ward habit has spontaneously developed of applying a compress under this junction. The objective is to minimize physical or emotional aggression as well as pain. Pain that is denied or not identified and not relieved is memorized by the child, which can have consequences on the perception of pain and the subsequent acceptance of care. To date, through their reading and research, investigators have been able to find articles mentioning the risks of pressure ulcers in children related to medical devices. However, few elements are developed concerning catheter-related pressure ulcers, especially on this specific technique for preventing injuries at the catheter-extension tube junction. Investigators have not found any recommendations on this subject. Thus, the aim of this study is to compare two peripheral venous catheter fixation devices, with compress and without compress, and to analyse the frequency of pressure ulcer occurrence and the intensity of this lesion.
