    Efficacy of peripheral venous catheter fixation devices (tape vs. transparent dressing) in health service users
    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2017-11-12) Meza Aponte, Abel Richard; Gomez Valeriano, Ivette Shirley; Gamarra Bustillos, Carlos
    Systematic review of 08 full-text articles from the last 10 years, with good quality of evidence; consisting of 04 randomized controlled clinical trials [50%]; 02 observational studies [25%], 01 systematic review [12.5%] and 01 meta-analysis [12.5%]. Results: 75% of studies did not find significant differences (p > 0.050) between fixation devices regarding the occurrence of complications such as phlebitis; The same percentage identified the main benefit of the transparent dressing as allowing direct observation of the catheter insertion site. Conclusions: It was determined that there is insufficient evidence to demonstrate that one fixation device (tape or transparent dressings) is better or superior than the other; The transparent dressing stands out for allowing visualization of the insertion point and is more cost-effective when used in patients with a medium and long-term hospital stay; while the tape is recommended when short-term access is needed and when the patient has abundant hair or profuse sweating.
