Brief summary
Intravascular devices in intensive care units are often associated to complications. The investigators estimate that 23.5% of catheters placed and used in intensive care are subject to at least one complication; the investigators goal is to demonstrate the effectiveness of the new Tegaderm ™ IV Advanced dressings to achieve a decrease of 35% in the number of complications associated with intravascular catheters in intensive care.
