Does Fixing Peripheral Intravenous Catheter With Additional Circular Dressing Material Reduce PIVC Failure And Complications? A Randomized Controlled Trial

EGE-HEM-SL-01

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.
