Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) are vital in delivering intravenous therapy. Despite their advantages, PICCs can lead to complications such as catheter exit site bleeding, which can cause patient distress and increase infection risk. This study evaluated the efficacy of StatSeal, a topical haemostatic device, in managing PICC exit site bleeding. StatSeal uses a hydrophilic polymer and potassium ferrate to form a seal, reducing access site bleeding and minimising dressing changes. For this study, Patients were recruited at Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust; the trial involved 177 patients with StatSeal, and shows that 99% did not require additional dressing changes within the standard 7-day period. The findings demonstrate StatSeal's effectiveness in improving patient outcomes by reducing exit site bleeding and associated complications, enhancing the efficiency of vascular access maintenance and potentially lowering associated healthcare costs. The trial emphasises the importance of innovative solutions such as StatSeal to advance PICC care and improve patient experience. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
