This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a zinc oxide adhesive securement device works better than a standard acrylic adhesive patch at keeping midline and central catheters secure in hospitalized patients. Catheters are small tubes inserted into veins to deliver fluids and medications. The study wants to know if the zinc oxide patch reduces complications like the catheter falling out, skin irritation, or vein inflammation.
Catheters are essential for treatment but can cause problems like accidentally slipping out, damaging the skin, or causing vein inflammation. Finding the best way to keep them secure could reduce these complications and help you heal faster.
After your catheter is inserted using a standard procedure, you will be randomly assigned to receive either the zinc oxide adhesive patch (the new treatment being tested) or the standard acrylic adhesive patch (the current standard care). The research team will monitor your catheter site during your hospital stay to track whether you experience any complications like skin irritation, vein inflammation, or catheter movement.
