Medical adhesive-related skin injury (MARSI) is a comparatively new category of skin damage. Our current understanding of MARSI originates from an interdisciplinary consensus conference held in 2012 that generated and disseminated 25 statements pertaining to the assessment, prevention, and management of MARSI, along with gaps in research and knowledge related to this area. The 2012 MARSI Consensus Group also challenged each organization to refine the original statements to make them more relevant to their particular area of practice. In order to accomplish this refinement for WOC specialty nursing practice, the WOCN Society appointed a task force to create statements that extended recommendations to patients with an acute or chronic wound, ostomy, or incontinence. This article describes the formal consensus process used to generate consensus statements concerning MARSI in our specialty practice, presents the 8 statements, and provides a brief overview of the advances that underlie the medical adhesive end products used by WOC and other clinicians practicing in all health care settings.

Background: Undesirable injuries during the intraoperative period, such as pressure injuries caused by improper positioning, medical devices, or adhesive tapes, can lead to patient harm and decreased satisfaction. This study aims to identify the risk factors of pressure injuries during the intraoperative period and the characteristics of these injuries.
Methods: A retrospective case-control study was conducted at King Khaled University Hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Background: Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) increase morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Central venous access device (CVAD) dressing integrity is critical to prevent CLABSI. From the First Quarter to the Third Quarter of 2023, CLABSI rates related to disruption in CVAD dressing integrity increased significantly at our facility.

Studies have not demonstrated the effectiveness of the different types of dressings in reducing the rate of complications. The purpose of this study was to determine which type of dressing is most beneficial in reducing the rate of complications. A total of 281 patients requiring a peripheral intravenous catheter were randomized to receive partially reinforced dressings or fully reinforced dressings (dressings with integral catheter securement).
