Abstract

Objective: To describe the outcomes of an improved transparent dressing technique for the securement and protection of peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVCs) in pediatric patients at Children's Hospital 1.


Methods: A prospective descriptive study was conducted among 208 pediatric inpatients in the General Pediatrics Department from the time of peripheral intravenous catheter insertion until the indication for its removal between October 2024 and March 2025.


Results: The mean PIVC dwell time was 60.3 ± 29.5 hours. The mean time to detection of catheter-related complications was 31.6 ± 32.3 hours following insertion. The overall incidence of PIVC-related complications was 64.4%.


Conclusion: Transparent dressings were associated with a mean catheter dwell time of 60.3 ± 29.5 hours. Although the complication detection rate was 64.4%, early identification occurred at a mean of 31.6 hours post-insertion.
