The use of gauze versus transparent dressings for peripheral intravenous catheter sites
Nurs Clin North Am.
1995 Sep.
Abstract
The purpose of this research utilization project was to determine if a sufficient research base was present to support the use of gauze rather than transparent dressings for peripheral intravenous catheter sites. The research articles reviewed in this article do not support a relationship between dressing type and complications of peripheral intravenous catheters.
