Abstract:
Catheter-associated skin injuries mainly include medical adhesive-associated skin injuries, medical device-related pressure ulcers, and moisture-associated skin damages related to catheters. Catheter-associated skin injuries may cause discomfort such as local pain and itching in patients, increasing the risk of catheter-associated bloodstream infections. This article reviews the assessment and management of catheter-associated skin injuries, aiming to provide a basis for nurses to identify and intervene in such skin injuries.
