Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Interventional
Official Title: Reduction of Tape Blisters After Hip Surgery. A Prospective Evaluation of Three Types of Dressings.
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine if one of the new types of dressings (MEPORE PRO and/or MEPILEX BORDER ) will reduce the blister rate compared to the currently used HYPAFIX.
Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: Hopital de l'Enfant-Jesus
Current Primary Outcome: The prevalence of tape blisters after hip fracture surgery [ Time Frame: Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 8 days ]
Original Primary Outcome: Same as current
Current Secondary Outcome:
- Length of hospital stay [ Time Frame: Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 8 days ]
- The correlation between risk factors and tape blisters [ Time Frame: Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 8 days ]
- The possible link between the presence of tape blisters and hospital morbidity. [ Time Frame: Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 8 days ]
- The costs related to a tape blister. [ Time Frame: Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 8 days ]The actual costs related to a tape blister will be calculated by adding the costs of additional dressings, the costs associated with an extended hospital stay and the additional costs associated with the use of external resources.
Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
