Interventions
Control group: acrylic adhesive sutureless fixation device
The standard care consists of: * Application of hemostasis at the point of insertion for 2 minutes post puncture or until bleeding stops. * Fix with clear polyurethane dressing (3M®-1655 Tegaderm™ IV), cyanoacrylate glue (SecurePortIV®) and acrylic adhesive sutureless fixation device (3300MWA Grip-Lok®).
Intervention Group: zinc oxide sutureless fixation device
Alternative care consisted of: * Application of haemostasis at the insertion site for 2 minutes post-puncture or until cessation of bleeding. * Fixation with clear polyurethane dressing (3M®-1655 Tegaderm™ IV), cyanoacrylate glue (SecurePortIV®) and zinc oxide sutureless fixation device (2200NUZA Grip-Lok®).
