Objective This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a novel antimicrobial dressing on patient satisfaction and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) following a cesarean delivery. Study Design  This was an open-label, single-center, two-arm randomized controlled trial. This study was done at the tertiary center, maternal unit, Galveston, TX. Pregnant women with body mass indices ≥35 kg/m2 were screened for eligibility. Women were randomized to ReliaTect Post-Op Dressing (RELIATECT) or standard wound dressing (STANDARD). Primary outcome was patient satisfaction and HRQoL using validated questionnaires. Secondary outcomes were provider satisfaction, surgical site infection (SSI) rates, and wound complications. Results In total, 160 women were randomized. Population characteristics were not significant among groups. RELIATECT dressing group had an overall higher score of satisfaction and HRQoL compared with STANDARD group. Women in the RELIATECT group reported less incision odor and incisional pain. Compared with the STANDARD group, most women in RELIATECT dressing group reported better daily activities, self-esteem, personal hygiene, body image, and sleep. Providers reported that the RELIATECT dressing allowed better assessment of the surgical incision site, allowed patients to shower early, and did observe less wound dressing leakage. No differences were found in other secondary end points. Conclusion Postcesarean RELIATECT dressing for wound care in pregnant women with obesity had better patient and provider satisfaction as well as better HRQoL scores. Further, level 1 evidence is needed to assess its impact on SSI rates and wound complication, as this trial was not powered to accomplish this goal. Key Points

Intravenous Catheters

Objectives: Peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVC) are the most frequently used invasive devices in medicine. PIVC failure before treatment completion is a significant concern and occurs in 33–69% of patients. Partial dislodgement and accidental removal are some of the reasons for PIVC failure. The most effective dressing and securement method for preventing accidental removal remains unclear. It was the aim of this study to compare the force required to dislodge a PIVC with four commonly used dressing and securement methods. Additionally, costs were calculated. Methods: Truncated 18-gauge i.v. cannulas were attached onto the forearm of 209 volunteers using four different dressings and securements (sterile absorbent wound dressing covered by two different types of elastic polyester fleece, bordered and non-bordered polyurethane). The force during continuously stronger pulling until dislodgement was recorded. Results: The highest resistance against dislodgement forces could be observed with a sterile absorbent wound dressing covered by two incised elastic polyester fleece dressings. Commercially-manufactured bordered and non-bordered polyurethan film dressings were 20% to 75% more expensive than sterile absorbent wound dressings covered by elastic polyester fleece dressing. Conclusions: Elastic polyester fleece secured a PIVC against accidental removal by external force best, compared to commercially-manufactured bordered and non-bordered polyurethane film dressing.

Purpose To assess the efficacy and safety of the Orchid drug-coated balloon (coated with paclitaxel) for the treatment of femoropopliteal artery disease versus percutaneous transluminal angioplasty in Chinese population. Methods This is a prospective, single center, single-blinded, randomized controlled trial that randomized (1:1) 60 patients (38 men; mean age 68.7 ± 8.8) to drug-coated balloon group ( n = 30) or percutaneous transluminal angioplasty group ( n = 30). The primary efficacy endpoint was primary patency of the target lesion and clinically driven target lesion revascularization (CD-TLR) at 12 months. The primary safety end point was freedom from perioperative death at 30 days and freedom from limb-related death and major amputation at 12 months. Results Baseline characteristics were similar between the two groups. Drug-coated balloon group resulted in higher primary patency (82.8% vs. 48.3%, p = 0.005) and lower CD-TLR rates (3.5% vs. 27.6%; p = 0.001) versus percutaneous transluminal angioplasty group at 12 months. The ABI was significantly higher in drug-coated balloon group than percutaneous transluminal angioplasty group (0.86 ± 0.13 vs. 0.72 ± 0.18, p = 0.025). There were no perioperative death at 30 days, no limb-related death and no major amputation at 12 months in either group. Conclusions The randomized controlled trial showed superior treatment effect with drug-coated balloon versus percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, with remarkably higher patency and lower CD-TLR rates. The result is consistent with other study and demonstrates the safety and efficacy of the Orchid drug-coated balloon for the treatment of femoropopliteal artery disease.
