Summary
This study looked at 78 intensive care patients to see if the type of dressing used on their central line (a large IV) affects the risk of developing a pressure injury on the skin. One group used gauze and tape, the other used a special transparent dressing with an antiseptic. Researchers checked the skin regularly to see which method caused fewer injuries.
