- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Avaliação da eficácia da pomada de própolis em portadores de feridas crônicas(Escola Paulista de Enfermagem, Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2007-06-01) Santos, Marinaldo José dos; Vianna, Lucila Amaral Carneiro [UNIFESP]; Gamba, Mônica Antar [UNIFESP]; Centro Universitário de Maringá; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of propolis cream in healing chronic. METHODS: This descriptive study used a sample of 20 subjects from a Basic Unit of Health of Maringá City, Paraná, Brazil, who had chronic wounds. Wound healing was measured through progress notes of wound length, width, and depth. Data were analyzed with Pearson's correlation to determine the degree and strength of the relationship between propolis cream treatment and wound healing. RESULTS: The progress notes of 22 chronic ulcers showed that the probability of wound healing was 18.7 weeks. Regarding the study period of 13,1 weeks, the majority of ulcers (74.1%) of ulcers healed completely. Regarding wound etiology, vascular ulcers (35%) healed in 7 patients. And, pressure ulcers (10%) healed in patients. CONCLUSION: The use of propolis cream, which is widely accessible and inexpensive, was effective in healing chronic wounds.
- ItemSomente MetadadadosDispositivo de compressão corporal por bandagens entrelaçadas e ajustáveis por velcro(Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2019-12-13) Nora, Ricardo Thompson [UNIFESP]; Ferreira, Lydia Masako [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)Introduction: Elastic compression garments are used for treating many clinical conditions. When used after plastic surgeries, problems such as irregular body compression due to different biotypes are observed. If associated with containment foam, the possibility of displacement of the parts, the impossibility of adjusting the compression and the laborious positioning the foam can be observed. Given these drawbacks, there is room for the development of new compression devices. Objective: To develop a body compression velcro wrap. Methods: The development of the invention was based on the Design Thinking methodology, divided into four phases: Discover, Define, Develop and Deliver. In the “Discover” phase, desk research and interviews with patients and plastic surgeons were conducted. A patentability search was conducted in national (INPI / BR) and international (Espacenet, WIPO, USPTO, SIPO and JPO) databases, as well as PatBase software; in the “Define” phase, the problems to be solved were determined; In the Develop phase, brainstorming sessions were conducted to determine the characteristics of the device; and in the “Deliver” phase, the industrial design and cost evaluation were made. Results: 9 patents with different characteristics were found in the search. The design process resulted in a Neoprene device consisting of 4 leaflets with multiple adjustable wraps and adhered by velcro to an elastic garment, plus a belt for connecting upper and lower pieces. Industrial designs were made and production costs determined. Conclusion: A body compression with adjustable velcro wrap with interlaced bandages was developed.
- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Proposta de um algorítmo para seleção de coberturas, segundo o tipo de lesão aberta em crianças(Escola Paulista de Enfermagem, Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2007-09-01) Tayar, Gabrilelle [UNIFESP]; Peterlini, Maria Angélica Sorgini [UNIFESP]; Pedreira, Mavilde da Luz Gonçalves [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)OBJECTIVES: This descriptive study aimed to elaborate an algorithm to support the nurses' selection of dressings for treatment in different wounds in children and to evaluate its effectiveness according to pediatric nurses' opinion. METHODS: This algorithm was composed of steps related to assessment of skin and healing process stage, the cleaning process determination and primary and secondary dressings selection. RESULTS: The 24 nurses who participated in the algorithm evaluation were graduated at two years in average and since then they have been working in the pediatric field; 87,5% had post graduation courses and all of them have been caring by month, a rate of one to four children with open wounds. Regarding to the algorithm evaluation, in the majority of studied variables, the nurses described the protocol as useful to support nursing interventions. CONCLUSION: The majority (95,8%) of the nurses described the instrument as important to application in practice.
- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Tempo de permanência do curativo após mamoplastia redutora: influência na colonização, na infecção da ferida operatória e na opinião das pacientes(Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2010-08-25) Veiga Filho, Joel [UNIFESP]; Sabino Neto, Miguel [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)Background: There is controversy in the literature regarding the treatment of surgical wounds, which includes different approaches to wound management, such as “not to dress the wound” to “leave the dressing in place for 24-48 hours” or “until sutures are removed”. Objective: To evaluate the effect of the length of time the dressings were left in place after reduction mammaplasty on skin colonization, surgical site infection, and patient opinion. Methods: Seventy patients undergoing reduction mammaplasty were randomly divided into two groups: group PO1 (dressing was removed on the first postoperative day) and group PO6 (dressing was removed on the sixth postoperative day). Skin colonization was detected by culture of samples collected at predefined time points. Surgical site infections were classified according to the guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Patient satisfaction was assessed on postoperative day 13. Results: A larger number of colony-forming units were measured in group PO1 on postoperative day 6. Nine (12.9%) patients had surgical site infection (seven from group PO1, and two from group PO2). In group PO1, 66% of the patients chose to keep the dressing for one day, while 83% of the patients in group PO6 chose to keep the dressing for six days. Conclusions: Higher colonization levels were observed in group PO1 on the sixth postoperative day. There was no difference in surgical site infection between groups. Most of the patients chose to keep the dressing in place for six days postoperatively, and felt it was safer.
