About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare three different dressing securement strategies used for central venous catheters (CVCs) to determine which is more effective in preventing medical adhesive-related skin injury (MARSI) among adults admitted to a Chest Diseases Intensive Care Unit.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does the type of dressing securement affect the occurrence of MARSI? Which dressing securement strategy is most effective in preventing CVC-related MARSI?
Researchers will compare:
acrylic adhesive tape, silicone adhesive tape, and barrier film combined with acrylic adhesive tape to determine which dressing securement strategy provides the best protection against CVC-related MARSI.
Participants will:
be randomly assigned to one of the three dressing securement strategies, receive the assigned dressing securement throughout the study period, undergo regular skin assessments for signs of MARSI, and be followed for up to 21 days or until catheter removal.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Adults aged 18 years or older. Patients admitted to the Chest Diseases Intensive Care Unit who are undergoing insertion of an internal jugular central venous catheter.
Disqualifiers
Active or congenital dermatological disease. Known allergy or hypersensitivity to the study dressings or skin barrier film. Clinically significant hyperhidrosis. Central venous catheter inserted through a site other than the internal jugular vein (e.g., subclavian or femoral vein).
