NCT04802694

Brief Summary

The present study was planned to compare the effect of products, used in the fixation of nasogastric tube, on skin integrity of 4-6 weeks infants hospitalized at neonatal and infant units. The hypothesis of the study is "Water-based barrier tape is more effective to protect skin integrity than hydrocolloid barrier tape."

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Water-based barrier tape

    To evaluate the skin integrity of the infants following the removal of silk adhesive from water-based barrier tape

    24 hours

  • Hydrocolloid barrier tape

    To evaluate the skin integrity of the infants following the removal of silk adhesive from hydrocolloid barrier tape

    24 hours

  • Adhesive tape

    To evaluate the skin integrity of the infants following the removal of silk adhesive from infants skin without any barrier tape

    24 hours

Study Arms (3)

Water-based barrier tape

EXPERIMENTAL

The infants in experiment 1 group will be applied water-based barrier tape will be used to fix the nasogastric tube

Device: Water-based barrier tape

Hydrocolloid barrier tape

EXPERIMENTAL

The infants in experiment 2 group, hydrocolloid barrier tape will be used to fix the nasogastric tube.

Device: Hydrocolloid barrier tape

Adhesive product

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The silk plaster used in clinic routinely will be used for control group infants to fix the nasogastric tube.

Device: Silk tape

Interventions

The infants in experiment 1 group will be applied water-based barrier tape. The area will be covered by water-based barrier tape to fix nasogastric tube and after waiting 1 minute for drying up it will be fastened by silk tape used in clinic. The silk tape will be 5 cm long and it will be changed in every 24 hours. Following the removal of silk tape on the water-based barrier tape, the skin integrity of the infants will be evaluated through "Neonatal Skin Condition Score Scale" and the score will be recorded in the chart. Water-based barrier tape will be applied to the area every time the plaster will be changed and current skin condition score will be noted to the chart.

Water-based barrier tape

As for experiment 2 group, hydrocolloid barrier tape will be used to fix the nasogastric tube. The hydrocolloid barrier tape, which was cut and shaped appropriately beforehand, will be applied to the area in order to stabilize the nasogastric tube and the tube will be stabilized with silk tape used in clinic. The silk tape will be 5 cm long and it will be changed in every 24 hours. Following the removal of silk tape on the hydrocolloid barrier tape, the skin integrity of the infants will be evaluated through "Neonatal Skin Condition Score Scale" . Since the hydrocolloid barrier tape can stay on the skin for 7 days and be transparent, the assessment of skin condition will be realized for 7 days and noted down to the chart.

Hydrocolloid barrier tape
Silk tapeDEVICE

The silk tape used in clinic routinely will be used for control group infants to fix the nasogastric tube without any barrier. The silk tape will be 5cm long and it will be changed in every 24 hours. Following the removal of silk tape, the skin integrity of the infants will be evaluated through "Neonatal Skin Condition Score Scale" and the score will be recorded in the chart.
