Background: Incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) is a tough problem in clinical settings, not only increasing the risk of complications like catheter-related urinary tract infections and pressure ulcers in elderly and critically ill patients, but also prolonging hospital stays, raising hospital costs, and possibly leading to medical disputes. This study is aimed to evaluate the therapeutic effect of silicone dressing combined with topical oxygen therapy on IAD in a rat model.
Methods: An IAD rat model induced by synthetic urine with trypsin was established.
