ABSTRACT

Introdução: No Brasil, queimaduras acometem cerca de um milhão de pessoas/ano, a maioria do sexo masculino. Além de prejuízos físicos e emocionais, há impacto econômico, com gastos para o sistema de saúde, indenizações e incapacidades laborais. Por estas razões, estudos epidemiológicos são importantes para traçar o perfil da população mais acometida, orientando a prevenção dessa afecção. Método: Revisão dos prontuários de 398 vítimas de queimaduras, internados na Santa Casa de Santos, de janeiro de 2016 até dezembro de 2019. Resultados: Os principais acometidos são homens, jovens, em ambiente doméstico, por líquidos aquecidos, causando em sua maioria queimaduras de segundo grau, atendidos em até 24 horas, considerados grandes queimados e internados em enfermaria por até duas semanas. Aproximadamente 90% recebeu alta com melhora, necessitando apenas de desbridamento e curativos. Conclusão: Nosso trabalho concorda com maioria das revisões em relação à prevalência do sexo masculino, jovens, economicamente ativos, em suas residências, com líquidos aquecidos, acidentalmente. Outros estudos apontaram crianças como as mais afetadas, mostrando necessidade de políticas voltadas a ambas as faixas etárias. Com relação à internação, a maioria permaneceu em enfermaria, com queimaduras de segundo grau, prevalecendo os grandes queimados, o que acarreta maior gravidade e custos. Esse dado vai contra alguns trabalhos, que apontam queimadura de segundo grau como principal, porém com menos de 10% da superfície corporal queimada. A maior parte dos pacientes, tanto neste quanto na maioria dos estudos, apresentou bom desfecho, sem necessidade de Unidade de Terapia Intensiva ou procedimentos cirúrgicos, mostrando a importância do desbridamento precoce e cuidados com curativos.


Introduction: In Brazil, burns affect around one million people/year, the majority of whom are male. In addition to physical and emotional losses, there is an economic impact, with costs for the health system, compensation, and work disabilities. For these reasons, epidemiological studies are important to outline the profile of the most affected population, guiding the prevention of this condition. Method: Review the medical records of 398 burn victims admitted to Santa Casa de Santos from January 2016 to December 2019. Results: The main victims were young men in a domestic environment, by heated liquids, mostly causing second degree burns, treated within 24 hours, considered major burns, and admitted to the infirmary for up to two weeks. Approximately 90% were discharged with improvement, requiring only debridement and dressings. Conclusion: Our work agrees with most reviews regarding the prevalence of young, economically active males with accidentally heated liquids in their homes. Other studies highlighted children as the most affected, showing the need for policies for both age groups. Regarding hospitalization, the majority remained in the ward, with second-degree burns, with major burns prevailing, which leads to greater severity and costs. This data goes against some studies, which indicate second-degree burns as the main burn, with less than 10% of the body surface burned. In both this and most studies, most patients had a good outcome, without needing an Intensive Care Unit or surgical procedures, showing the importance of early debridement and care with dressings.

ABSTRACT

Purpose: Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) has revolutionized wound care, but its high cost reduces the procedure's availability. To solve the problem, streamlined vacuum dressings systems have been proposed, but the utility of these devices has been poorly studied. The objective of this study was to evaluate a simplified vacuum dressing system model (SVDM). Methods: Randomized clinical trial in which wounds were treated with SVDM compared to a complex occlusive dressing (silver hydrofiber, SHF). The analyzed outcomes were cleaning, presence of granulation tissue, clinical appearance, and indication for surgical closure of wounds. Results: Fifty injuries were treated (25 in each group), most located on lower limbs. SVDM proved to be more effective than SHF in the evaluated outcomes. Wound recalcitrance reduced the effectiveness of the equipment used. Despite its efficacy, complications occurred, the most frequent related to dressing changes: minor bleeding, foam adherence to a wound bed, and pain. Only for bleeding no favorable risk-benefit ratio was found. There were no severe complications, worsening conditions of injuries, or deaths. Conclusions: SVDM proved to be an effective and acceptably safe device for managing studied wounds.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: O manejo da ferida operatória limpa no pós-operatório é uma importante intervenção para prevenção da infecção do sítio cirúrgico. O uso de curativo estéril na ferida operatória, aproximada por primeira intenção, deve ser utilizado de forma asséptica e tem como principal objetivo impedir a contaminação por microrganismo. No entanto, para as diretrizes clínicas para prevenção de infecção do sítio cirúrgico, não existe consenso sobre a escolha do curativo ideal. Objetivo: Sintetizar as evidências sobre o curativo efetivo para prevenção da infecção de sítio cirúrgico aplicado na ferida operatória, aproximada por primeira intenção, em pacientes oncológicos adultos submetidos a cirurgia eletiva. Materiais e Método: Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática pautada no Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA), registrada sob o número CRD42020156908, constituída das etapas: 1) Elaboração e registro do protocolo da revisão; 2) Delimitação da pergunta da revisão; 3) Definição dos critérios de elegibilidade; 4) Busca e seleção dos estudos; 5) Coleta de dados; e 6) Síntese e apresentação dos resultados da revisão sistemática. A estratégia de busca foi realizada nas bases de dados: Cochrane Central, Cinahl, Embase, Lilacs, Livivo, PubMed, Scopus e Web of Science. A estratégia de busca foi fundamentada no objetivo da revisão e adaptada para cada base de dados consultada. Utilizaram-se descritores controlados e palavras-chave, a saber: Neoplasms AND Bandages AND Surgical Wound Infection AND prevention and control. A literatura cinzenta consultada foi o Google Acadêmico e a ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Database. As etapas foram realizadas de forma independente e mascarada por dois revisores, e um terceiro para resolução de conflitos. Ao término da seleção dos estudos primários, realizou-se a busca manual nas listas de referências dos estudos primários incluídos. Resultados: A amostra compôs-se de sete ensaios clínicos aleatorizados. Os curativos absorventes foram comparados em cinco estudos incluídos. A mupirocina foi avaliada em dois estudos. Os curativos com prata foram avaliados em três estudos. O mel, a parafina, o tempo de retirada do curativo e a terapia por pressão negativa aparecem em um único ensaio cada. Em relação ao risco de viés, foram avaliados os sete estudos incluídos pela ferramenta da Cochrane Risk of Bias (RoB 2), sendo seis de baixo risco e um estudo avaliado como risco incerto. A metanálise foi realizada com três ensaios que testaram curativo de prata versus o curativo absorvente, não demonstrando diferenças estatisticamente significantes (p= 0.77) na prevenção da infecção do sítio cirúrgico. O Intervalo de Confiança (IC) do diamante metanalítico varia de 0,41 a 1,06, assim não demonstra diferença estatisticamente significante na efetividade entre os tipos de curativo. A certeza da evidência foi avaliada pelo sistema GRADE e foi considerada forte em todos os domínios. Conclusões: A ausência de padronização em relação ao tipo e tempo de curativo utilizados nos estudos pode ser um dificultador para as recomendações do curativo ideal. E apesar dos resultados promissores com curativo impregnado com prata, ainda não é possível concluir qual é o curativo mais efetivo aplicado na ferida operatória, para prevenção de infecção de sítio cirúrgico, com fechamento primário, em pacientes oncológicos adultos submetidos a cirurgia eletiva


Introduction: The management of clean surgical wounds in the postoperative period is an important intervention to prevent surgical site infections. The use of sterile dressings in operative wounds, held together by primary intention, should be used aseptically, with the main objective of preventing microbiological contamination. However, clinical guidelines for the prevention of surgical site infection do not provide a consensus about the choice of the optimal dressing. Objective: The aim of this review was to summarize the existing evidence about effective surgical site dressings for the prevention of operative wound infections, held together by primary intention in adult oncological patients submitted to elective surgery. Materials and Method: This was a systematic review based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA), registered under number CRD42020156908. It was developed according to the following phases: 1) preparing and registering the review protocol; 2) defining the review question; 3) defining the eligibility criteria; 4) searching and selecting the studies; 5) data collection; and 6) summarizing and presenting the results of the systematic review. The search strategy was carried out in the following databases: Cochrane Central, Cinahl, Embase, Lilacs, Livivo, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. The search strategy was based on the objective of the review and adapted for each of the consulted databases. Controlled descriptors and keywords were used, namely: Neoplasms AND Bandages AND Surgical Wound Infection AND prevention and control. The grey literature consulted was Google Scholar, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Database. The stages were carried out independently and blindly by two reviewers, while a third reviewer was used to settle any conflicts. After selecting the primary studies, the researchers manually searched the reference lists of the included primary studies. Results: The sample consisted of seven randomized clinical trials. Absorbent dressings were compared in five included studies. Mupirocin was evaluated in two studies. Silver dressings were evaluated in three studies. Honey, paraffin, dressing removal time, and negative pressure therapy all appeared in a single trial each. Regarding the risk of bias, the seven studies were assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool (RoB 2); six presented a low risk of bias and one study presented uncertain risk. The meta-analysis was performed with three trials that tested silver dressings versus absorbent dressings, with no statistically significant differences (p= 0.77) in the prevention of surgical site infection. The confidence interval (CI) of the diamond ratio varied between 0.41 and 1.06, thus it did not demonstrate a statistically significant difference in effectiveness between the types of dressing. Certainty of the evidence was evaluated using the GRADE system, which considered it strong in all categories. Conclusions: The lack of standardization regarding the type and duration of dressing used in the studies can make it difficult to recommend the ideal dressing. And despite the promising results with dressings impregnated with silver, it is still not possible to conclude which is the most effective dressing applied to the surgical wound, to prevent surgical site infection, with primary closure, in adult cancer patients undergoing elective surgery

ABSTRACT

RESUMO: Modelo do Estudo: estudo transversal da fase prospectiva de um ensaio clínico. Objetivo: identificar os microrganismos e a sensibilidade antimicrobiana no sítio de inserção do cateter venoso central coberto pelo curativo gel de clorexidina ou pelo filme transparente de poliuretano. Metodologia: estudo transversal, descritivo, realizado com adultos críticos no período de abril a dezembro de 2014 em um hospital universitário no interior do estado de São Paulo. Imediatamente após a retirada do curativo, foi coletada amostra de swab da pele do sítio de inserção do cateter, semeado em placas de Agar sangue e Agar MacConkey e incubadas em estufas bacteriológicas a 35 °C. Nas amostras que apresen-taram crescimento bacteriano após 24 horas de incubação, foram realizados testes de sensibilidade aos antimicrobianos utilizando o equipamento automatizado Vitek II (Biomerieux®). Resultados: 45 pacientes fizeram uso do curativo gel de clorexidina e 47 utilizaram o filme transparente de poliuretano. No grupo com o curativo gel de clorexidina houve crescimento dos microrganismos Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Morganella morganii, Enterobacter cloacae, Staphylococcus aureus e Staphylococcus epidermidis em 13 amostras de swabs. O Staphylococcus aureusapresentou resistência a oxacilina. No grupo do filme transparente de poliuretano seis amostras foram positivas com o crescimento de Serratia marcescens, Acinetobacter baumannii, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus haemolyticus e Klebsiella pneumoniae, esta resistente a amicacina (Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase - KPC). Conclusão: os resultados demonstram maior crescimento bacteriano no sítio de inserção do cateter venoso central coberto pelo curativo gel de clorexidina quando comparado ao filme transparente de poliuretano.

ABSTRACT: Study design: a prospective, cross-sectional study. Objectives: identify microbiological growth at the insertion site of the central venous catheter covered by a chlorhexidine impregnated dressing or a transparent polyurethane dressing, and identify antimicrobial sensitivity. Methods: immediately after dressing removal, a skin swab was collected from the catheter insertion site and seeded in blood agar plates and MacConkey agar, then incubated in bacteriological incubators at 35 °C. After 24 hours, the plates were analyzed to verify the presence of microbial growth. In the samples that displayed microbial growth, the identification and the sensitivity test were performed using the automated equipment Vitek II (Biomerieux®). Results: A total of 45 patients were treated with chlorhexidine impregnated dressing and 47 with transparent polyurethane dressing. In the chlorhexidine dressing group, 13 swabs samples presented with microbial growth of the following bacterial populations: Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Morganella morganii, Enterobacter cloacae, Staphylococcus aureus, and Staphylococcus epidermidis. Staphylococcus aureus presented resistance to oxacillin. In the transparent polyurethane dressing group, six samples were positive for the growth of Serratia marcescens, Acinetobacter baumannii, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus haemolyticus, and amikacin resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (Klebsiella pneumoniaecarbapenemase - KPC). Conclusion: The results demonstrate higher bacterial growth in the chlorhexidine impregnated dressing compared to the transparent polyurethane dressing. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introdução: Estudos recentes apontam a utilização do curativo biológico com base em animais aquáticos como biomaterial na medicina regenerativa, apresentando boa aderência ao leito das feridas. O objetivo foi avaliar a eficácia da utilização da pele da Tilápia-do-Nilo (Oreochromis niloticus) como curativo biológico oclusivo, no manejo/tratamento de queimaduras de 2º grau em adultos. Métodos: Estudo clínico com 30 pacientes aleatoriamente tratados com pele da Tilápia-do-Nilo (n = 15) e hidrofibra com prata Aquacel Ag® (n =1 5). Resultados: Em relação à duração, o tratamento com a pele da Tilápiado-Nilo obteve uma média de dias de tratamento (9,6 ± 2,4) similar ao material comparativo (10,7 ± 4,5). Quanto ao relato de dor durante a troca de curativos, não houve diferença estatisticamente significante (p > 0,68) entre os grupos. Após a troca do curativo, não houve inferioridade no registro do valor na escala analógica de dor, em que 66,7% dos tratados com pele da Tilápia-do-Nilo relataram diminuição dos eventos álgicos. Constatou-se ainda que 60% dos pacientes tratados com a pele da Tilápia-do-Nilo não tiveram seus curativos substituídos em qualquer momento do tratamento. Para o curativo Aquacel AG®, 53,3% dos pacientes tiveram mais de uma substituição de curativos. Conclusões: Com base na pesquisa, pode-se concluir que a pele da Tilápia-do-Nilo é eficaz como curativo biológico oclusivo. Houve similaridade entre os grupos para a média de dias de tratamento (completa cicatrização da ferida) e para o relato de dor durante a realização do curativo. Também, a não inferioridade relacionada a dor após os curativos e suas trocas (quando existentes) e na quantidade de substituições destes.


Introduction: Recent studies have suggested the use of biological dressings made of aquatic animals as biomaterials in regenerative medicine since they demonstrate good adherence to the wound bed. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of Nile tilapia skin (Oreochromis niloticus) as an occlusive biological dressing in the management and treatment of second-degree burns in adults. Methods: This clinical study included 30 patients randomly treated with Nile tilapia skin (n = 15) or Aquacel Ag® silver-based hydrofiber dressing (n = 15). Results: The Nile tilapia skin yielded a similar mean treatment time (9.6 ± 2.4 days) to that of the comparative material (10.7 ± 4.5 days). There was no statistically significant intergroup difference (p > 0.68) in pain during dressing changes. No disadvantage in pain was noted, as 66.7% of patients treated with Nile Tilapia skin reported a decrease in pain events. Moreover, 60% of the patients treated with the Nile Tilapia skin did not require dressing replacement at any time during treatment. For the Aquacel AG® dressing, 53.3% of the patients required more than one dressing replacement. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that the Nile tilapia skin is as effective as an occlusive biological dressing. The average treatment time (complete wound healing) and pain reports during dressing changes were similar between groups. Furthermore, pain after and number of dressing exchanges (when performed) were not worse.

The effects of the two methods were compared according to the wound healing rate, the bacterial quantitative, the cell apoptosis rate and the capillary density after a treatment cycle.@*Results@#The average wound healing rates of the control group and the test group were (16.5±6.7)% and (26.2±5.6)% respectively, between which there was a significant difference (t=5.09, P<0.01). Before treatment, the bacterial quantitative, cell apoptosis rate and capillary density in the control group were (2.7±0.8) ×107CFU/g, (9.3±1.5)%, 13.43±3.21 respectively, and in the test group were (2.9±1.1) ×107CFU/g, (10.1±1.1)%, 11.51±2.75, there was no significant difference between the two groups (all P>0.05). After treatment, the bacterial quantitative, cell apoptosis rate and capillary density in the control group were (4.9±1.4) ×104CFU/g, (5.5±0.8)%, 38.64±10.14, and in the test group were (2.5±0.7) ×104CFU/g, (2.9± 0.9)%, 41.09±9.28. The differences before and after treatment in the control group were statistically significant (q=1 967.75, 3.51, 6.12, all P<0.01 or 0.05), and the differences before and after treatment in the test group were statistically significant (q=3 912.32, 5.22, 8.07, all P<0.01). There were significant differences in the bacterial quantitative and cell apoptosis rate between the two groups after treatment (q=3.85, 3.78, all P<0.01), however, there was no significant difference in vascular density (P>0.05).@*Conclusion@#The vacuum sealing drainage combined with topical oxygen therapy can enhance wound healing and control infection significantly, is a safe and effective therapeutic method.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To evaluate the efficacy of Qinre-Jiedu-Shaoshang ointment combined with hydrophilic silver ion dressing in the treatment of deep degree Ⅱ burn.@*Methods@#A total of 89 patients with degreeⅡ burn were enrolled, and they were randomly divided into the control group (44 cases) and the treatment group (45 cases). The control group was treated with hydrophilic silver ion dressing. The treatment group was treated with Qinre-Jiedu-Shaoshang ointment combined with hydrophilic silver ion dressing. Both groups were treated continuously for 21 days. The wound healing time and dressing change times of the two groups was observed and recorded. The VAS scale was used to evaluate the degree of wound pain. The serum level of TNF-α and IL-6 were detected by ELISA.@*Results@#The total effective rate was 95.56% (43/45) in the treatment group and 77.27% (34/44) in the control group. There was a significant difference between the two groups (χ2=6.375, P=0.012). The healing time of wounds in the treatment group (17.3 ± 1.9 d vs. 22.5 ± 2.2 d, t=11.987) and dressing change times (5.1 ± 0.7 times vs. 7.4 ± 0.8 times, t=15.041) were significantly less than those in the control group (P<0.01). The VAS score of the treatment group at 7, 14 and 21 days after treatment was significantly lower than those of the control group (t values were 10.597, 19.692, 26.510, all Ps<0.001). After treatment, the level of serum TNF-α and IL-6 in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group (t values were 6.412, 8.202 respectively, all Ps<0.01).@*Conclusions@#The Qinre-Jiedu-Shaoshang ointment combined with hydrophilic silver ion dressing can effectively promote wound healing, reduce the degree of wound pain, reduce the level of inflammatory cytokines, and improve clinical efficacy.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and the nursing experience of vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) combined with topical oxygen therapy on healing of pressure ulcers in intensive care unit. Methods Totally 44 cases of patients in intensive care unit with pressure ulcers on stage Ⅲ and Ⅳbedsore, from May 2015 to October 2017, were divided into 2 groups according to the random number table.22 cases, as the control group, were treated with routine methods and VSD.22 cases, as the test group, were treated with topical oxygen therapy on basis of the treatment of control group, 10 days for a cycle. The effects of the two methods were compared according to the wound healing rate, the bacterial quantitative, the cell apoptosis rate and the capillary density after a treatment cycle. Results The average wound healing rates of the control group and the test group were (16.5±6.7)% and (26.2±5.6)% respectively, between which there was a significant difference (t=5.09, P<0.01). Before treatment, the bacterial quantitative, cell apoptosis rate and capillary density in the control group were (2.7 ± 0.8) × 107CFU/g, (9.3±1.5)%, 13.43±3.21 respectively, and in the test group were (2.9±1.1)×107CFU/g, (10.1± 1.1)% , 11.51 ± 2.75, there was no significant difference between the two groups (all P>0.05). After treatment, the bacterial quantitative, cell apoptosis rate and capillary density in the control group were (4.9±1.4)×104CFU/g, (5.5±0.8)%, 38.64±10.14, and in the test group were (2.5±0.7)×104CFU/g, (2.9± 0.9)% , 41.09 ± 9.28. The differences before and after treatment in the control group were statistically significant (q=1 967.75, 3.51, 6.12, all P<0.01 or 0.05), and the differences before and after treatment in the test group were statistically significant (q=3 912.32, 5.22, 8.07, all P<0.01). There were significant differences in the bacterial quantitative and cell apoptosis rate between the two groups after treatment (q=3.85, 3.78, all P<0.01), however, there was no significant difference in vascular density (P>0.05). Conclusion The vacuum sealing drainage combined with topical oxygen therapy can enhance wound healing and control infection significantly, is a safe and effective therapeutic method.

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of Qinre-Jiedu-Shaoshang ointment combined with hydrophilic silver ion dressing in the treatment of deep degree Ⅱ burn. Methods A total of 89 patients with degreeⅡ burn were enrolled, and they were randomly divided into the control group (44 cases) and the treatment group (45 cases). The control group was treated with hydrophilic silver ion dressing. The treatment group was treated with Qinre-Jiedu-Shaoshang ointment combined with hydrophilic silver ion dressing. Both groups were treated continuously for 21 days. The wound healing time and dressing change times of the two groups was observed and recorded. The VAS scale was used to evaluate the degree of wound pain. The serum level of TNF-α and IL-6 were detected by ELISA. Results The total effective rate was 95.56% (43/45) in the treatment group and 77.27% (34/44) in the control group. There was a significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=6.375, P=0.012). The healing time of wounds in the treatment group (17.3 ± 1.9 d vs. 22.5 ± 2.2 d, t=11.987) and dressing change times (5.1 ± 0.7 times vs. 7.4 ± 0.8 times, t=15.041) were significantly less than those in the control group (P<0.01). The VAS score of the treatment group at 7, 14 and 21 days after treatment was significantly lower than those of the control group (t values were 10.597, 19.692, 26.510, all Ps<0.001). After treatment, the level of serum TNF-α and IL-6 in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group (t values were 6.412, 8.202 respectively, all Ps<0.01). Conclusions The Qinre-Jiedu-Shaoshang ointment combined with hydrophilic silver ion dressing can effectively promote wound healing, reduce the degree of wound pain, reduce the level of inflammatory cytokines, and improve clinical efficacy.

ABSTRACT

Abstract: Ulcers or wounds can be classified as acute or chronic. Their treatment involves overall assessment of the patient and choice of suitable local therapy, and the appropriate indication and use of products. Technological progress in the field of wound treatment has increased rapidly. Constant updating, with emphasis on available scientific evidence, is necessary to offer the best approaches to patients with acute and chronic wounds. A qualitative analysis of literature was conducted to identify scientific publications that update the concepts involved in local wound treatment, to present some resources that can aid the healing process and describe the different types of dressings available. This review includes wound assessment using the acronym TIME (tissue, infection/inflammation, moisture balance and edge of wound), cleaning and debridement, infection/inflammation control, exudate control, dressing types and main indications.

ABSTRACT

Introducción. La infección del sitio operatorio (ISO) es la causa más común de infección en pacientes quirúrgicos. La curación en el periodo posquirúrgico parece tener gran impacto en este resultado. Objetivo. Evaluar la disminución de infección posoperatoria superficial o profunda en pacientes con heridas abdominales sucias, al realizar curaciones con apósitos de hidrofibra con plata o apósitos de gasa. Asimismo, evaluar la satisfacción y la presencia de dolor durante las curaciones, identificar eventos adversos y cambios en la estancia hospitalaria. Métodos. Es un ensayo clínico aleatorizado abierto, realizado en pacientes mayores de 18 años operados por alguna urgencia quirúrgica abdominal y con herida clasificada como sucia en el Hospital Universitario San Vicente Fundación o la IPS Universitaria entre diciembre de 2016 y enero de 2018. Durante el seguimiento se tomaron datos de consultas al servicio de urgencias y consulta externa, y así, se evaluaron los reingresos, la ISO y la mortalidad. Resultados. De 78 pacientes elegibles, se incluyeron 69 en el análisis final: a 34 se les hizo curación con gasa y, a 35, curación con apósitos de hidrofibra. No se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas para el desarrollo de ISO, entre la curación con gasa y aquella con hidrofibra, tampoco en cuanto a la presencia de dolor o la duración de la estancia hospitalaria. Conclusión. El uso de apósitos de hidrofibra con plata en las curaciones de heridas sucias abdominales, puede tener beneficios. Sin embargo, en este estudio no se encontró ninguna diferencia al compararla con la gasa


Introduction: Surgical site infection (SSI) is the most common cause of infection in surgical patients. Post-surgical wound care treatment seems to have a great impact on this outcome. Objective: To evaluate the decrease of superficial or deep SSI in patients with an abdominal surgical wound managing wound care with silver hydrofiber or gauze. Likewise, to evaluate the satisfaction and presence of pain during care of the wound, and to identify adverse events and changes during the hospital stay. Methods: Open-label randomized clinical trial carried out in patients older than 18 years with an abdominal surgical emergency at Hospital San Vicente Fundación and IPS Universitaria, Medellín, Colombia, and wound classified as dirty between December 2016 and January 2018. Follow-up of the data of the consultations to the emergency service and external consultations, evaluate readmissions, SSI and mortality associated. Results: 78 eligible patients, 69 in the final analysis, 34 had wound care treatment with gauze and 35 with hydrofiber dressing. We did not find statistically significant differences for the development of SSI between the wound care treatment with gauze and with hydrofiber, neither in terms of the presence of pain or in the hospital length of stay. Conclusion: The use of iconic silver hydrofiber in the healing of the dirty abdominal surgical wounds may have benefits, however in this study no difference was found when compared with gauze

ABSTRACT

INTRODUÇÃO: O cuidado do paciente com feridas é um constante desafio na prática clínica do enfermeiro. As coberturas oclusivas e não oclusivas são utilizadas no tratamento de feridas e existe uma lacuna de conhecimento sobre a influência dessas indicações no processo de cicatrização. OBJETIVO: O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a influência de coberturas oclusivas sobre a cicatrização de feridas cutâneas excisionais em camundongos C57BL/6. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Trata-se de um estudo translacional pré-clínico, comparativo e controlado. Os camundongos foram divididos em três grupos experimentais e o tratamento das feridas excisionais deles foram classificados como: animais que receberam oclusão com hidrocolóide (HD), animais que receberam oclusão com filme transparente de poliuretano (FT) e animais sem oclusão (SO). Os grupos foram avaliados quanto: a taxa de fechamento das feridas, o infiltrado de neutrófilos e macrófagos, dosagem da citocina TNF-α, o fator de crescimento angiogênico VEGF, a expressão protéica de HIF-1α e, histologicamente, o desenvolvimento de novos vasos sanguíneos. As cicatrizes das feridas foram analisadas por juízes independentes quanto à apresentação estética no décimo quarto dia de segmento. RESULTADO: No terceiro dia do processo de cicatrização, foi possível observar, macroscopicamente, que o fechamento das feridas cutâneas excisionais foi acelerado nos animais cuja ferida foi ocluída, utilizando-se tanto filme transparente quanto o hidrocolóide. Ainda no período de três dias, observou-se diminuição nos níveis da citocina pró-inflamatória TNF-α nas feridas ocluídas com hidrocolóide quando comparada com os grupos SO e FT. O acúmulo de neutrófilos também diminuiu, significativamente, ao terceiro dia de cicatrização no grupo tratado com hidrocolóide, quando comparado aos grupos SO e FT, respectivamente. O conteúdo dos macrófagos apresentou níveis significativamente mais altos ao terceiro dia no grupo FT quando comparado a SO. Ao sexto dia de estudo, evidenciaram-se dosagens significativamente aumentadas de macrófagos no grupo HD, contrastando com os grupos SO e FT. Os níveis de VEGF apresentaramse expressivamente aumentados ao sexto dia de cicatrização, nos animais cujas feridas estavam ocluídas com filme transparente de poliuretano e hidrocolóide. Houve aumento dos níveis do fator indutor de hipóxia 1-alfa nos animais submetidos a oclusão quando comparados aos sem oclusão. A análise qualitativa do reparo em cicatriz das feridas permitiu afirmar que houve concordância moderada e significativa entre os juízes no grupo HD e concordância substancial e significativa nas cicatrizes dos animais SO. CONSIDERAÇÕES FINAIS: Considerando-se que a resposta inflamatória é um processo imunológico fundamental para o processo de reparo de feridas, quando ocorre de forma controlada, sugere-se que a oclusão modula a resposta inflamatória. Tal achado é evidenciado por meio da inibição parcial da citocina pró-inflamatória TNF- α, da redução de acúmulo de neutrófilos e dos níveis mais altos de macrófagos. A oclusão das feridas não evidenciou aumento quantitativo de capilares em relação ao grupo sem oclusão.(AU)


INTRODUCTION: The care of the wounded patient is a constant challenge in the nurse's clinical practice. Occlusive and non-occlusive coverages are used to treat wounds and there is a lack of knowledge about the impact of these indications on the healing process. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the present study was to evaluate the influence of occlusive coatings on the cicatrization of cutaneous excisional wounds in C57BL / 6 mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS: It is a pre-clinical, comparative and controlled translational study. The mice were divided into three experimental groups and the treatment of excisional wounds of these were classified as: animals that received occlusion with hydrocolloid (HD), animals that received occlusion with transparent polyurethane film (FT) and animals without occlusion (SO). The groups were evaluated for: wound closure rate, neutrophil and macrophage infiltration, TNF-α cytokine dosing, VEGF angiogenic growth factor, HIF-1α protein expression and, histologically, the development of new blood vessels. Wound scars were analyzed by independent judges regarding the aesthetic presentation on the fourteenth day of the segment. RESULTS: On the third day of the healing process it was possible to observe, macroscopically, that the closure of excisional skin wounds was accelerated in animals whose wound was occluded using both transparent and hydrocolloid films. Also, in the three-day period, there was a decrease in TNF-α proinflammatory cytokine levels in the hydrocolloid occluded wounds when compared to the SO and FT groups. Neutrophil accumulation also significantly decreased on the third day of healing in the group treated with hydrocolloid occlusion when compared to the SO and FT groups, respectively. Macrophage content had significantly higher levels, on day 3, in the FT group, when compared to OS. On the sixth day of the study, significantly increased dosages of macrophages were detected in the HD group, contrasting with the SO and FT groups. VEGF levels were expressively increased on the sixth day of healing in animals whose wound was occluded with transparent polyurethane film and hydrocolloid film. There was an increase in levels of the factor inducing 1-alpha hypoxia in the animals submitted to occlusion when compared to those without occlusion. The qualitative analysis of the wound healing repair allowed to affirm that there was moderate and significant agreement, between the judges, in the HD group and substantial and significant concordance in the scars of the SO animals. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: Considering that the inflammatory response is a fundamental immunological process for the wound repair process, when it occurs in a controlled way, it is suggested that the occlusion modulates the inflammatory response. Such a finding is evidenced by partial inhibition of the proinflammatory cytokine TNF-α, reduction of neutrophil accumulation, and higher levels of macrophages. The wounds occlusion did not show a quantitative increase of capillary vessels in relation to the group without occlusion.(AU)

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Skin grafting is a commonly performed operation in plastic and reconstructive surgery. The tie-over dressing is an effective technique to secure the grafted skin by delivering persistent downward pressure. However, if an additional dressing is required due to incomplete graft healing, the process of re-implementing the tie-over dressing may be frustrating for both patients and surgeons. Therefore, we introduce the double tie-over dressing, which readily allows for an additional tie-over dressing after the first dressing, and we present a comparison of its effectiveness with that of the simpler bolster dressing. METHODS: Of 128 patients with a skin defect, 69 received a double tie-over dressing and 59 patients received a simple bolster dressing. Using the independent t-test, the mean healing time, which was defined as the mean time it took for the wound to heal completely so that no additional dressing was required and it was washable with tap water, was compared between the 2 groups in both the head and neck region and in other areas. RESULTS: The mean healing time for the head and neck region in the double tie-over dressing group was 9.19±1.78 days, while it was 11.05±3.85 days in the bolster dressing group. The comparison of the 2 groups by the independent t-test revealed a P-value of 0.003 for the mean healing time. CONCLUSIONS: In the head and neck area, the double tie-over dressing required less time to heal than the simple bolster dressing.

ABSTRACT

Resumo: A infecção primária de corrente sanguínea relacionada ao cateter venoso central de curta permanência (IPCS-CVC) tem elevada incidência nas instituições hospitalares brasileiras e seu tratamento representa elevado custo para os sistemas de saúde. Prevenir esta complicação é a melhor estratégia. Diversas tecnologias estão disponíveis no mercado com esta finalidade, dentre elas as coberturas para cateter venoso central. A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo geral avaliar o custo-efetividade da gaze e fita adesiva, filme semipermeável transparente e cobertura impregnada com clorexidina para cateter venoso central de curta permanência. Como objetivos específicos: elencar evidências científicas relativas aos custos decorrentes da IPCS-CVC; estimar os custos da IPCS-CVC no âmbito do sistema público de saúde; construir a árvore de decisão para as tecnologias estudadas e analisar a relação custo-efetividade de cada alternativa para cobertura do cateter venoso central de curta permanência. A pesquisa foi realizada em três etapas. A primeira consistiu em uma revisão integrativa desenvolvida nas bases de dados LILACS e EMBASE com MEDLINE, publicadas entre jun/2005 e jun/2015 com os descritores: cateteres venosos centrais, infecções relacionadas a cateter e custos e análises de custos. Foram elencadas 13 publicações e houve predomínio de estudos de coorte retrospectiva, desenvolvidos na Europa ou Estados Unidos com pacientes críticos. O custo para um episódio de infecção variou de $24.090 até $34.544. Estudos europeus encontraram valores entre €16.814 e €29.909. A infecção aumentou os dias de internação entre 1,5 e 26 dias, e a mortalidade entre 1,8% e 34%. Na segunda etapa foi desenvolvido um estudo de custo da doença mediante uma pesquisa observacional retrospectiva, realizada em um hospital de ensino da região Sul do Brasil, referente aos pacientes com IPCS-CVC diagnosticados nos anos de 2014 e 2015. Foram incluídos 44 pacientes, os quais representaram um custo total de R$ 417.609,32 para o hospital, com média de R$ 9.711,84 ± R$ 7.008,94 por episódio. Do custo total, a maior parte refere-se aos gastos com internamento (60,98%), seguido do tratamento (37,72%). Custos com a substituição do cateter (0,78%) e com a realização de culturas (0,52%) tiveram pouca representatividade. As infecções causadas por fungos, por microrganismos resistentes e por bactérias gram positivas foram significativamente mais dispendiosas para o hospital. A terceira etapa consistiu em uma análise de custo-efetividade, realizada mediante a construção de uma árvore de decisão na perspectiva do sistema único de saúde brasileiro. Neste cenário a estratégia mais custo-efetiva é a cobertura impregnada com clorexidina, com custo de R$ 2.165,54 por caso evitado e efetividade de 99%. As variáveis custo mínimo, tempo de permanência da cobertura, índice de infecção e de óbito interferiram na relação custo-efetividade. Conhecer o real impacto econômico da IPCS-CVC é importante para que sejam estabelecidos programas e políticas que visem à redução deste agravo. Da mesma forma, estudos de custo-efetividade permitem melhor gestão dos escassos recursos da área da saúde e podem contribuir para que mais indivíduos sejam beneficiados com o uso de tecnologias que, além de efetivas, representam economia para o hospital.


Abstract: Central-venous-catheter-related bloodstream primary infections (CRBSIs) has a high incidence in Brazilian hospital institutions and its treatment represents a high cost for health systems. Preventing this complication is the best strategy. Many technologies are available in the market for this purpose, among them the central venous catheter coverage. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of gauze and micropore tape, transparent semipermeable film, and chlorhexidine-impregnated coating for short-term central venous catheter. This study has as specific objectives: (1) to list scientific evidence regarding the costs resulting from a CRBSIs; (2) to estimate the costs of a CRBSIs for the public health system; (3) to construct the decision tree for the studied technologies; and (4) to analyze the cost-effectiveness of each alternative for the short-term central venous catheter coverage. The research was carried out in three stages: (1) the first one consisted of an integrative review carried out in the LILACS and EMBASE databases with MEDLINE, published between June 2005 and June 2015 with the descriptors: central venous catheters, catheter-related infections and costs and cost analyses. Results: thirteen publications were included, and there was predominance of retrospective cohort studies conducted in Europe and the United States with critical patients. The cost for an episode of infection ranged from $ 24,090 to $ 34,544. European studies found values between € 16,814 and € 29,909. The infection increased the length of hospitalization between 1.5 and 26 days, and the mortality between 1.8% and 34%; (2) in the second stage, a cost-of-disease study was developed through a retrospective observational research, referring to the patients with CRBSIs diagnosed in 2014 and 2015, and it was carried out in a teaching hospital in the southern region of Brazil. Forty-four patients were included, representing a total cost of R$ 417,609.32 for the hospital, average cost of R$ 9,711.84 ± R$ 7,008.94 per infection episode. Most of the total cost refers to hospitalization expenses (60.98%) followed by treatment (37.72%). Cost with catheter replacement (0.78%) and cultures (0.52%) had little representativeness. Infections caused by fungi, resistant microorganisms, and gram-positive bacteria were significantly more expensive for the hospital; (3) the third stage consisted of a cost-effectiveness analysis, performed through the construction of a decision tree from the perspective of the Brazilian Unified Health System. In this scenario, the most cost-effective strategy is the chlorhexidine-impregnated coating, with a cost of R$ 2,165.54 per avoided case and 99% effectiveness. Knowing the real economic impact of CRBSIs is important to establish programs and policies aiming to reduce this aggravation. Likewise, cost-effectiveness studies allow better management of the scarce health resources and also can contribute to benefit a greater number of individuals, by using technologies that, in addition to being effective, represent expenses saving for the hospital.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO Objetivo: relatar a experiência inicial com a terapia por pressão negativa por instilação em feridas complexas infectadas ou contaminadas. Métodos: a terapia por pressão negativa por instilação utilizada foi o V.A.C. Ulta com instilação Veraflo (Kinetic Concepts, Inc). O modo de operação foi contínuo com pressão sub-atmosférica ajustada em 125 mmHg por duas horas e instilação entre as pausas. O tempo de instilação foi de 20 minutos (tempo de contato do agente tópico com a ferida) e a substância instilada foi solução salina padrão a 0,9%. Após obtenção de preparo adequado da ferida, ela foi coberta com enxerto ou retalho. Resultados: foram operados dez pacientes com feridas complexas contaminadas ou infectadas. O número médio de trocas da TPNi foi 1,4, o número médio total de cirurgias foi de 2,4, o intervalo até a cobertura da ferida foi de 6,3 dias e o intervalo até a alta foi de 11,4 dias. Conclusão: a comparação da terapia por pressão negativa por instilação com dois estudos prévios (controle histórico) evidenciou um tempo de internação menor, favorecendo a TPNi. Este estudo teve um caráter inicial, fazendo-se necessário conduzir um trabalho randomizado e controlado para confirmar a eficácia desta terapia e verificar a sua custo-efetividade.


ABSTRACT Objective: to report the initial experience with Negative-Pressure Wound Therapy with instillation in infected or contaminated complex wounds. Methods: the negative-pressure wound therapy with instillation used was V.A.C. Ulta with Veraflo instillation (Kinetic Concepts, Inc). The mode of operation was continuous with negative pressure set at 125 mmHg for two hours and instillation between the pauses. The instillation time was 20 minutes (contact time of the topical agent with the wound) and the instilled substance was 0.9% normal saline. After adequate preparation of the wound, it was covered with graft or flap. Results: ten patients with complex or contaminated wounds were operated on. The mean number of NPWTi changes was 1.4, the mean number of surgeries was 2.4, the interval until complete wound coverage was 6.3 days, and the interval up to the time of discharge was 11.4 days. Conclusion: the comparison of the negative-pressure wound therapy with instillation with two previous studies (historical control) evidenced a shorter hospitalization time, favoring TPNi. This study had an initial character, making it necessary to conduct a randomized and controlled trial to confirm the efficacy of this therapy and verify its cost-effectiveness.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Avaliar a utilização do curativo de colágeno e alginato de cálcio em áreas doadoras de enxerto de pele parcial em relação ao curativo com gaze tipo rayon. MÉTODO: Foi realizado estudo clínico prospectivo na Divisão de Cirurgia Plástica e Queimaduras do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo, no período de 2010 a 2015. Os pacientes foram selecionados de forma consecutiva e distribuídos de forma randomizada em três grupos de acordo com o tratamento usado na área doadora: rayon exposto, embebido em soro fisiológico 0,9%; rayon coberto por gaze de algodão estéril e atadura; curativo formado por 90% de colágeno bovino associado a 10% de alginato de cálcio. Foram analisados comparativamente os seguintes parâmetros: dor, tempo para epitelização, tempo de internação e custos. RESULTADOS: Foram estudados 30 pacientes, com idade variando de 12 e 60 anos. Quinze desses pacientes tiveram suas áreas doadoras cobertas com o curativo de colágeno e alginato de cálcio, os quais apresentaram redução dos níveis álgicos em 79,5% (p<0,01), menor tempo de internação e epitelização, média de 5,8 dias (p<0,01) e redução dos custos hospitalares em cerca de 47% (p<0,01) em comparação com o curativo de rayon. Nenhum apresentou infecção na área doadora. CONCLUSÃO: O curativo de colágeno e alginato apresentou melhor custo-benefício em relação ao rayon para cobertura de áreas doadoras, com importante redução da dor, do tempo de epitelização e de internação e dos custos.


OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the use of collagen calcium-alginate dressing for split-thickness skin graft donor sites in comparison with rayon dressing. METHODS: A prospective clinical study was conducted at Divisão de Cirurgia Plástica e Queimaduras do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo from 2010 to 2015. Patients were selected consecutively and randomly allocated into three groups according to the treatment used on the donor site: rayon soaked in 0.9% saline; rayon covered with sterile cotton gauze and bandage; 90% bovine collagen with 10% calcium-alginate dressing covered with transparent polyurethane film. Following parameters was comparatively analyzed: pain, time to epithelialization, length of stay and costs. RESULTS: We studied 30 patients, ranging from 12 to 60 years of age. Fifteen of these patients had their donor sites covered with collagen calcium-alginate dressing, which showed pain reduction of 79.5% (p<0.01), shorter hospital stay and epithelialization, average of 5.8 days (p<0.01) and reduction in hospital costs about 47% (p<0.01) in comparison with rayon dressing. None presented infection in the donor site. CONCLUSION: Collagen calcium-alginate dressing showed better cost-benefit than rayon to cover donor sites, with significant reduction of pain, epithelialization time, length of stay and costs.


Objetivo: Evaluar la utilización del apósito de colágeno con alginato de calcio en áreas donadoras de injerto de espesor parcial de la piel en relación a la curación con gasa tipo rayón. Método: Se realizó un estudio clínico prospectivo en la División de Cirugía Plástica y Quemadura, del Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo en el período de 2010 a 2015. Los pacientes fueron seleccionados de forma consecutiva y distribuida de forma aleatorizada en tres grupos de acuerdo con el tratamiento utilizado en la área donadora: rayón expuesto, embebido en suero fisiológico 0,9%; Rayón cubierto por gasa de algodón estéril y vendaje; apósito formado por un 90% de colágeno bovino asociado al 10% de alginato de calcio. Se analizaron comparativamente los siguientes parámetros: dolor, tiempo para epitelización, tiempo de internación y costos. Resultados: Se estudiaron 30 pacientes, con edad variando de 12 a 60 años. Quince de estos pacientes tuvieron sus áreas donantes cubiertas con el apósito de colágeno con alginato de calcio, los cuales presentaron reducción de los niveles álgicos en el 79,5% (p<0,01), menor tiempo de internación y epitelización, media de 5.8 (p<0,01) y reducción de los costos hospitalarios en 47% (p<0,01) en comparación con el apósito de rayón. Ninguno presentó infección en el área donante. Conclusión: El apósito de colágeno con alginato presentó mejor costo-efectividad en relación al rayón para cobertura de áreas donantes, con importante reducción del dolor, del tiempo de epitelización, de internación y de los costos
