Filter by:Long-term indwelling vascular catheters including central venous catheters, peripherally inserted central venous catheters, arterial catheters are often essential for medical care. During the routine care, some patients may experience skin damage around the catheter insertion site due to allergic reactions to the catheter dressing material, physical damage during dressing changes, leading to infection, prolonged hospitalization, and unexpected medical costs. If the condition is mild, it may increase the number of dressing changes. In severe cases, it may require changing to a different dressing method, using medication, or even removing the indwelling catheter. This study investigates the efficacy of liquid skin barrier film in preventing skin damage around long-term indwelling vascular catheters. In this randomized controlled trial, the participants aged 0 to less than 18 years who has long-term indwelling vascular catheters inserted at National Taiwan University Hospital Yunlin Branch will be recruited. At the time of indwelling vascular catheter insertion, the subjects are randomly assigned to the control group or the experimental group. The control group received standard care according to the hospital's guidelines, using a sterile transparent dressing or gauze to cover the catheter insertion site. The experimental group first applied liquid skin barrier film to the skin, then applied a sterile transparent dressing or gauze to cover the catheter insertion site. The patients are followed for two weeks. The primary endpoint is the need for change of dressing, use of medication, or removal of the catheter due to skin damage around the catheter insertion site. The secondary endpoints are skin breakdown, number of dressing changes, and incidence of bloodstream infection. It is expected that the research results may change the standard clinical management of long-term indwelling vascular catheters.
Skin injury due to the use of medical adhesives is a common but under recognized complication in children. To prevent central venous catheter-related complications, care interventions should be planned in such a way that they do not lead to medical adhesive-related skin injury. Systematic administration of preventive care interventions is needed to reduce skin injuries associated with medical adhesive used for central venous catheter fixation. The SECURE Care Bundle has been developed by researchers based on the latest evidence to prevent medical adhesive-related skin injuries associated with central venous catheter fixation in children. The SECURE Care Bundle is a systematic approach to care that includes checking the skin, assessing risk factors, correctly applying and removing medical adhesives and registering medical adhesive related skin injury. The goal of this randomized controlled trial study is to evaluate about SECURE care bundle in preventing medical adhesive-related skin injury due to central venous catheter fixation in children. The main questions it aims to answer are 1. Is the SECURE Care Bundle effective in reducing the incidence of medical adhesive-related skin injuries due to central venous catheter fixation? 2. Does the SECURE Care Bundle have an effect on the first central venous catheter dressing change time? Data will collect after the parents of the children who meet the case selection criteria will inform about the research, their oral and written consents will be obtained through the "Informed Consent Form". Researchers will compare the SECURE Care Bundle group to the standard care group to see medical adhesive-related skin injury due to central venous catheter fixation.
The purpose of this study is to test whether the reduction of the sense of discomfort and redness and swelling of the skin surrounding the wound of patients by use of the novel electrolyzed water spray will relieve the inflammation of the skin.
The use of electrocautery to incise the skin is still debated. Aim of the present study is to contribute at the use of electrocautery for skin incision as safe procedure both for patients and surgeons.
This multi-center, open-label, observational study will evaluate possible skin reactions associated with the wearing of the Owlet OSS 3.0 device continuously (except during sensor charging and excessive motion) up to 24 hours per day in a clinical environment.
This objective of this study is to compare the safety and performance of Thermotape compared to Tegaderm™ tape and Kind™ tape over the course of 24 hours.
To evaluate the feasibility, safety and efficacy of a novel suture-less drain securement device (K-Lock) via direct comparison to suture-based techniques. In this study the suture-less drain securement device will be compared to the use of sutures to secure drains. One will be secured with the K-Lock and the other will be secured with sutures.
The present study was planned to compare the effect of products, used in the fixation of nasogastric tube, on skin integrity of 4-6 weeks infants hospitalized at neonatal and infant units. The hypothesis of the study is "Water-based barrier tape is more effective to protect skin integrity than hydrocolloid barrier tape."
