Central line exit sites: which dressing?

Recent developments in dressings for intravenous access sites include a transparent dressing which does not retain moisture.

There was no difference in sepsis rates between the two groups, and both methods had advantages and disadvantages. The authors suggest that cost may be a factor in choice of dressing.
