It’s well known that after any surgical procedure, wound dressing, fixing epidural catheter, tubes or drains to the skin may lead to skin damage that may occur when medical adhesives are not selected, applied and/or removed properly. In mild cases, there may not be any visible trauma. But in other cases, the injury can be more serious, requiring additional treatment. This can be presented as blisters, skin sluffing, and rash which is called Medical Adhesive Related Skin Injury (MARSI).

“…Skin lesions or diseases are frequently observed in patients with DM which may be due to complex interactions among biochemical, vascular, immune, and metabolic changes. [ 25 ] DM may affect the skin through several proposed mechanisms, in which hyperglycemia and advanced glycation end products being the most well-described. The prevalence of skin disorders in patients with DM are highly correlated with glycemic control.…”

Background: The prevalence of skin diseases and diabetes mellitus (DM) are prominent around the world. The current scope of knowledge regarding the prevalence of skin diseases and comorbidities with type 2 DM (T2DM) is limited, leading to limited recognition of the correlations between skin diseases and T2DM. Methods: We collected 383 subjects from the Da Qing Diabetes Study during the period from July 9th to September 1st, 2016. The subjects were categorized into three groups: Normal glucose tolerance (NGT), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), and T2DM. The prevalence and clinical characteristics of skin diseases were recorded and investigated. Results: In this cross-sectional study, 383 individuals with ages ranging from 53 to 89-year-old were recruited. The overall prevalence of skin diseases was 93.5%, and 75.7% of individuals had two or more kinds of skin diseases. Additionally, there were 47 kinds of comorbid skin diseases in patients with T2DM, of which eight kinds of skin diseases had a prevalence >10%. The prevalence of skin diseases in NGT, IGT, and T2DM groups were 93.3%, 91.5%, and 96.6%, respectively; stratified analysis by categories showed a statistically significant difference in “disturbances of pigmentation” and “neurological and psychogenic dermatoses”. The duration of T2DM also significantly associated with the prevalence of “disturbances of pigmentation” and “neurological and psychogenic dermatoses”. Subsequently, the prevalence of “disturbances of pigmentation” was higher in males than females in NGT ( P < 0.01) and T2DM ( P < 0.01) groups. In addition, the difference in the prevalence of “disturbances of pigmentation” was also significant in NGT and T2DM groups ( P < 0.01). Conclusions: There was a high prevalence of skin diseases in the Da Qing Diabetes Study. To address the skin diseases in the Da Qing Diabetes Study, increased awareness and intervention measures should be implemented.

Overlooked and underestimated: medical adhesive-related skin injuries

et al. 2020

Foreword I n July 2019, a panel of wound care experts, educators and researchers met in the UK to review the literature on medical adhesive-related skin injury and discuss best practice for its assessment and prevention. e two-day meeting resulted in this consensus document, which is intended for anyone who uses adhesive medical devices. e document aims to raise awareness of the widespread occurrence of medical adhesive-related skin injury and the burden it imposes on patients, health professionals and the health service. It seeks to encourage a change in culture, whereby risk assessment and prevention of medical adhesive-related skin injury are considered an integral part of patient care. e document, therefore, provides recommendations for the assessment and prevention of this type of injury, with a view to standardising care across all healthcare settings. It also highlights the need for education on this form of skin damage, which needs to become a core topic in skin care and wound management. Until this happens, there is scope for multidisciplinary teams to provide local training on this subject. In the light of the panel's concern that many health professionals are not only unaware of this avoidable harm but also its abbreviation, MARSI, the term is written in full throughout the document. e panel hopes that implementation of the guidance in this document will reduce avoidable patient su ering and promote better outcomes. Sian Fumarola, Senior Clinical Nurse Specialist, Tissue Viability and Continence, University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust, UK Overview of medical adhesive-related skin injury  'Medical adhesive-related skin injury' is a term used to defi ne any skin damage related to the use of medical adhesive products or devices such as tapes, wound dressings, stoma products, electrodes, medication patches and wound closure strips. This type of injury is largely avoidable
