Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Reduction of bloodstream infection related to the catheter by the use of antimicrobial chlorhexidine dressings as measured by infection rate per thousand catheter days in both groups. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Increased rate of fixation of the skin healing evaluated by displacement of borders with or without compromising the integrity of the dressing. Will be considered adequate fixation when the dressing remains intact.;Reduction of local reaction to the healing assessed by the absence of itching, redness, scaling and maceration in the region of contact with skin healing. | — |
