RESUMO
Objective To investigate and compare the effect of two kinds of transparent dressings in the use of fixed intravenous indwelling needle in restless patients in emergency first aid. Methods A total of 160 restless patients who were required to use intravenous indwelling needle were randomly divided into conventional dressing group and 3M dressing group by random digits table method, 80 patients in each group. The medical transparent dressings(Specification:6 cm × 7 cm) were used for the patients of conventional dressing group, and 3M dressings(Specification:6.5 cm×7.0 cm ) for 3M dressing group. The fixity time, number of cases intravenous indwelling needle detached, replaced time of transparent dressing, number of crimping cases were compared. Results For the conventional dressing group, fixity time was (19.67 ± 7.02) h, replaced time was (18.92 ± 6.58) h, 15 detached cases and 24 crimping cases happened. While for the 3M dressing group, fixity time was (41.64±17.79) h, replaced time was (41.11 ± 17.76) h, 4 detached cases and 7 crimping cases happened. The difference was statistically significant(t=-10.27,χ2=7.23, t=-10.48,χ2=11.56, all P<0.05). Conclusions 3M transparent dressing is suggested in fixing intravenous indwelling needle in restless patient in emergency first aid. It can ensure the use of intravenous indwelling needle during the period, effectively prevents the needle from detaching due to its good fixation effect.
