Silver dressing may shield Kids' skin after tracheostomy
NCT ID NCT07392294
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a silver-impregnated foam dressing prevents skin complications better than a standard foam dressing in children who had a tracheostomy. Fifty children were randomly assigned to one of the two dressings and followed for one month. The goal was to see which dressing leads to fewer infections, pressure sores, or other skin issues around the tracheostomy site.
