Nursing Article Critique on Dressing Materials

Paper Summary:

This paper offers a critique of the article "Impact of Dressing Materials on Central Venous Catheter Infection Rates." The writer discusses research into the use of such dressings at one medical facility, based on records covering several years. Further the writer examines the use of three different dressings over that time. In this article, the writer also looks at the way the report is written, how the research was conducted, how valid it may be and similar issues.

From the Paper:

"Based on the fact that transparent, semipermeable, polyurethane dressings are widely accepted for dressing central venous catheter (CVC) insertion sites today, it is noted that there have been differing results with this method, meaning differences in their association with microbial growth under the dressing and with the risk of subsequent CVC-associated infection. This is the problem, and the purpose of this study is to report on the positive experience of the authors in terms of the impact of a highly permeable transparent dressing on CVC-associated infection among patients at their facility."
