Allocation: RANDOMIZED
Intervention model: PARALLEL
Intervention model description: 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.
Primary purpose: SUPPORTIVE_CARE

Brief summary: 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.

Detailed description: This study was conducted as a randomized controlled study to determine the effect of fixing the peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) with additional circular dressing material on the duration of stay of the peripheral intravenous catheter 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. In our study, PIVC failure was defined as PIVC removal before the end of treatment due to phlebitis, infiltration, accidental dislodgement, occlusion, and leakage. A total of 91 (47 intervention, 44 control) participants were included in the study between April 2023 and September 2023. All-cause PIVC failure was significantly higher in the intervention group (70.2%) compared to the control group (45.5%). It was determined that fixing the PIVC with additional circular dressing material prolongs the duration of PIVC stay at the site. It is recommended that this study be conducted with a different patient population and multicenter.
