Central venous catheter dressings: a systematic review

Abstract: There was no evidence of any difference in the incidence of infectious complications between any of the dressing types compared in this review. Each of these comparisons was based on no more than two studies and all of these studies reported data from a small patient sample. Therefore it is unlikely that any of these comparisons would have had sufficient power to detect any differences between groups.

“…Also it showed that there is highly significant improvement in physician practice in surgical ICU after intervention regarding use of sterile gown and fulfilling precaution by all personnel. These finding were similar to that reported by Taylor et al (30) but against to thast reported by Sean et al (3) . They found that 92% of healthcare providers used hat, mask, and sterile gown and 100% of them used sterile gloves.…”

“…There were no evidences in differences between the incidences of infections between the two types of dressings. Authors conclude that there is uncertainty regarding the infection risk in transparent film dressings, suggesting studies with a greater number of patients in the sample to identify the most adequate dressing for central venous catheter (19) . A randomized controlled clinical trial on the application of topical mupirocin 2% in the site where catheter was inserted, in 136 patients, as a prophylaxis for S. aureus in patients with CVC for hemodialysis, the authors concluded that there was significant reduction in S. aureus skin infection and in bacteremia in patients using mupirocin prophylaxis compared to the control group (gauze and micropore dressing) (13) .…”

“…Em revisão sistemática utilizando as bases de dados Cochrane, MEDLINE, Embase e Cancerlit, identificaram-se seis ensaios controlados de comparação entre os efeitos de gaze e fita adesiva e/ou curativo transparente de poliuretano em CVC. Não foi encontrada diferença na incidência de infecção em relação ao uso de qualquer dos tipos de cobertura 35 .…”
