Randomized Controlled TrialA Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial of Novel Dressing and Securement Techniques in 101 Pediatric Patients.
To evaluate feasibility of an efficacy trial comparing peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) dressing and securement techniques to prevent complications and failure. ⋯ This research suggests safety and acceptability of different securement dressings compared with standard care; securement dressings may also reduce dressing changes after insertion. Further research is required to confirm clinically cost-effective methods to prevent PICC failure.
