Abstract
This case report discusses medical adhesive-related skin injuries (MARSIs) caused by eye taping during an emergency open reduction internal fixation surgery under general anesthesia. The presented case involves a 72-year-old woman with a proximal humeral fracture, where 3M Transpore adhesive tape caused blisters on both eyelids. This tape is an acrylic-based medical adhesive and is commonly used to keep eyelids closed during general anesthesia. MARSIs can largely be prevented through evidence-based clinical guidance. Enhancing awareness of MARSIs among anesthesia providers and perianesthesia nurses is crucial to prevent and manage such injuries effectively.
