The Application of Hydrocolloid Dressings in the Prevention of Pressure Injury Related to Radial Artery Catheterization
Objective To investigate the effect of hydrocolloid dressings on the prevention of pressure injuries related to radial artery catheterization in critical patients.Methods A total of 120 patients requiring radial artery catheterization and invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring from June 2021 to June 2022 in the intensive care unit of a tertiary grade A hospital in Fujian province were selected.The patients were randomly divided into observation group and control group,with 60 cases in each group.In the control group,3M sterile dressings were routinely used to fix the radial artery catheter by the elevated platform method.In the observation group,a 4 cm×3 cm hydrocolloid dressing was applied under the skin at the puncture site of the radial artery catheter and the wing of the needle,and then the radial artery catheter was fixed with 3M sterile dressings routinely.The incidence of skin pressure injury and complications were compared between the two groups.Results The incidence of pressure injury in the observation group(3.33%)was lower than that in the control group(16.67%),and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The incidence of bleeding complications in the observation group(8.33%)was lower than that in the control group(10.00%),and the incidence of catheter dislodgement in the observation group(5.00%)was higher than that in the control group(3.33%),with no statistically significant differences(P>0.05).Both groups of patients had no occurrence of catheter-related infections.Conclusion The application of hydrocolloid dressings in critically ill patients can effectively reduce the incidence of pressure injury associated with radial artery catheterization.
