Summary

This study tests whether adhesive or elastic band devices are better at securing urinary catheters in critically ill patients. The goal is to prevent skin injuries, reduce discomfort, and lower the risk of catheter-related infections. About 188 adults in intensive care will be randomly assigned to one of the two devices and monitored closely.
