A randomised trial comparing Argalaes (transparent dressing containing silver ions) to tegaderm (transparent polyurethane) dressing peripheral arterial catheters and central vascular catheters. Intensive Crit Care Nurs 1998; 14:187-191. This is one of the well-conducted trials that examined the efficacy of silver impregnated transparent dressings versus plain transparent dressing for catheter exit site. The study failed to show any advantage of these special catheter exit site dressings in reducing line sepsis.

This multicentre study involved 23 neonatal intensive care units and 5760 neonatal admissions, and examined risk factors for neonatal line sepsis. It failed to identify duration of line usage as an independent risk factor. This is contrary to the popularly held belief regarding line sepsis, and probably needs further evaluation.
