Regular manipulations with central venous catheters (CVC) are associated with the risk of medical adhesive-related skin injury (MARSI) and infectious complications. Traditionally, alcohol-containing anti-adhesives are used to remove film dressings, but they may cause skin toxic effects. Meanwhile, the silicone-based anti-adhesives are successfully used in clinical practice, especially in abdominal surgery. In 2021-2022, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) recipients (n=46) with haematology diseases participated in comparative study. The control group (n=26) consisted of patients who used alcohol-containing solution (Ekobriz, Mir Dezinfektsii, Russia) for CVC care, and the comparison group (n=20) was treated with silicone-based spray (Niltac, Convatec,
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
