Trial summary

While medical adhesives provide fixation of devices and catheters in neonatal intensive care, they can cause disruption of skin integrity when removed. Therefore, when detecting medical devices, it is important to choose products that will not harm babies' skin and to use different occlusive dressings (polymer foams… Read more about this study

About this study

While medical adhesives provide fixation of devices and catheters in neonatal intensive care, they can cause disruption of skin integrity when removed. Therefore, when detecting medical devices, it is important to choose products that will not harm babies' skin and to use different occlusive dressings (polymer foams, hydrogel dressings, hydrocolloid dressings).

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of different types of patches (Hydrocolloid dressing and Hypoallergenic Flexible Patch) used in the detection of oragastric catheter (OG) in preterm babies hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit in preventing skin damage.

Read the detailed description

Many interventions are applied to premature babies in neonatal intensive care units due to the developing technologies in recent years. Babies in neonatal intensive care need many devices to maintain their vital functions and monitor the treatment process. The medical adhesive materials to be selected are important in determining the medical devices used in neonatal intensive care units, especially premature babies.

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of different types of patches (Hydrocolloid dressing and Hypoallergenic Flexible Patch) used in the detection of oragastric catheter (OG) in preterm babies hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit in preventing skin damage.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Hydrocolloid dressingOther

    After the oral gastric tube is placed on the premature baby and fixed with a Hydrocolloid dressing, the fixed patch will be removed after 24 hours using a silicone-based spray remover.

  • Hypoallergenic FlexibleOther

    After the oral gastric tube is placed on the premature baby and fixed with a hypoallergenic flexible patch, the fixed patch will be removed after 24 hours using a silicone-based spray remover.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Newborn Skin Condition Score

    NSCS allows evaluation of the newborn's skin condition. It evaluates skin dryness, redness and integrity, which are the basic characteristics of the newborn's skin. The scale consists of three parameters.

    Measured: The patch will be removed 24 hours after orogastric detection and a skin evaluation will be performed immediately.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hydrocolloid dressing and Hypoallergenic Flexible in people with Neonatal Skin Conditions, run by Ondokuz Mayıs University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Contact Esra Tural Büyük, pHD (5052795196, esratural55@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Newborn Skin Condition Score (time frame: The patch will be removed 24 hours after orogastric detection and a skin evaluation will be performed immediately.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
