ABSTRACT

Se presenta un caso clínico de un paciente con elefantiasis y úlceras sobreinfectadas en ambas extremidades inferiores, incluyendo una valoración enfermera, diagnósticos prioritarios, plan de cuidados, justificación del tratamiento elegido y la evolución posterior. La evidencia de infección de las úlceras planteó la necesidad de instaurar una terapia con cadexómero yodado para tratar localmente la infección, e hidrogel para evitar la formación de biopelículas. Transcurrido un mes del alta del paciente se realizó un seguimiento en el que se observó una evolución favorable con aumento de tejido de granulación y tejido epitelial en varias de las lesiones presentes, por lo que se valoró de forma favorable el procedimiento de cura en ambiente húmedo; la mejora en los hábitos higiénico-dietéticos se completó por parte del paciente


We present the clinical case of a patient with elephantiasis and superinfected ulcers in both lower limbs, including the Nursing assessment, primary diagnosis, plan of care, justification for the treatment selected, and subsequent evolution. The evidence of ulcer infection required to initiate therapy with cadexomer iodine in order to treat the infection locally, and hydrogel to prevent the formation of biofilms. Follow-up was conducted one month after the patient was discharged, and favourable evolution was observed, with an increase in granulation tissue and epithelial tissue in many of the lesions; therefore, the procedure of healing in a moist environment was assessed as favourable, and the improvement in hygienic-dietary habits was completed by the patient
