Incidence of Medical Adhesive–Related Skin Injuries and Associated Factors After Pediatric Congenital Heart Surgery

This high incidence of MARSI indicates the need for greater awareness and prompt action in response to MARSI, and polyurethane transparent film without concurrent use of a skin barrier product should be avoided.

Medical adhesive-related skin injury in cancer patients: A prospective cohort study

Medical adhesive-related skin injury at the peripheral venous catheter insertion site has a high incidence in critical cancer patients and is associated with decreased turgor, presence of hematoma and edema, evidence that can support the clinical practice.

Medical adhesive-related skin injuries in the neonatology department of a teaching hospital.

Although NSCS showed mild-to-moderate impairment and lesion severity was low, this event is relatively frequent in neonatal units, and adhesive tapes in premature newborns should be considered a risk factor for injuries.

The Effect of a Skin Barrier Film on the Incidence of Dressing-Related Skin Blisters After Spine Surgery.

Results do not support the use of a skin barrier film in surgical spine patients and there was no association between patient-specific characteristics and skin blisters among the participants.

The incidence of confused injuries is high in oncology patients admitted to intensive care units and the demographic and clinical profile of the patients of the sample and the injuries and the skin around them are described.

The Bagautdinov dressing method: negative pressure wound therapy in a patient with an allergy to acrylate adhesive

The case of a 63‐year‐old woman with an intractable leg ulcer resulting from external‐beam radiotherapy (XRT) is described and prolonged, outpatient NPWT is successfully administered to the patient using an alternative method (first described by Bagautdinov in 1986), using plain polyethylene film and petrolatum.

Dressing and Securement of Peripheral Arterial Catheters: A Pilot Randomised Controlled Trial

The purpose of this research was to provide evidence of the effectiveness of novel dressing/securement technologies to prevent catheter failure in peripheral arterial catheters in a larger research setting, and determine initial effectiveness of one dressing and two securement methods.

Pressure injury related to the use of personal protective equipment in COVID-19 pandemic.

Pressure injuries related to the use of medical devices showed a high prevalence in health professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the recognition of the damage in these professionals makes it possible to advance in prevention strategies.

A one hospital study of the effect of wound dressings and other related factors on skin blistering following total hip and knee arthroplasty

It is noteworthy that only 8 of the patients with ‘Opsite Post Op' developed blisters compared to 4 of the 28 patients who had a ‘Mepore' dressing, suggesting that lack of elasticity of dressings coupled with postoperative wound oedema is a contributing factor to formation of wound blistering.

A prospective clinical audit of patient dressing choice for post-op arthroscopy wounds

Arthroscopy offers advantages over traditional open surgery, to patient and healthcare provider alike, in that procedures are generally less invasive, which results in smaller wounds, increased rates of recovery, reduction in hospitalisation episodes and, therefore, reductions in patient intervention costs.
