Skin glue decreases failure rate at 48 hrs

• Put a drop right were the catheter enters the skin and another drop underneath the hub
• Normal tegaderm over the top
• Decreases movement>decreased phlebitis>maybe decreased infection
• Need to use adhesive remover wipe to dissolve glue prior to removal
