Effect of Central Venous Catheter Dressing Types on Device-Related Pressure Injuries

The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of different central venous catheter dressing methods on the development of medical device-related pressure injuries in participants treated in the intensive care unit. This study aims to answer the following questions: * What is the risk of pressure injury development in participants whose catheter dressings are performed using gauze and adhesive tape? * What is the risk of pressure injury development in participants whose catheter dressings are performed using a chlorhexidine gluconate-containing transparent dressing? * Is there a difference between these two dressing methods in terms of pressure injury development? The researchers will compare participants receiving gauze and adhesive tape dressings with participants receiving chlorhexidine gluconate-containing transparent dressings. Participants will: * Receive catheter dressings according to the assigned dressing method based on randomization. * Undergo regular catheter site assessments. * Be evaluated for pressure injury development through skin assessments. * Have their pressure injury risk monitored using the Braden Pressure Injury Risk Assessment Scale.
