In 30 seconds

This randomized controlled trial evaluated the impact of hydrocolloid dressing and terpolymer-based alcohol-free barrier film on pain during silk tape removal in 120 infants aged 4 to 6 weeks. The study found that pain levels were significantly lower with the terpolymer-based film compared to hydrocolloid dressing, with a P-value of <.001 indicating strong statistical significance.

Key findings

  • Pain level following hydrocolloid dressing was 2 times higher than with silk tape (P <.001).
  • Pain persisted in the silk tape group even 3 minutes post-procedure (P <.01).
  • Silk tape fixation was 3 times higher than terpolymer-based alcohol-free barrier film.

Why it matters

Understanding effective pain management strategies in infants is crucial for improving patient comfort and outcomes. This study highlights the importance of using protective products to minimize pain during medical procedures.
