ABSTRACT
Nexobrid is a highly selective enzymatic debriding agent used in the acute management of burns to perform escharectomy. From October 2016 to April 2017, we treated 6 patients affected with lower limb chronic ulcers of different etiologies with Nexobrid in order to perform eschar removal by enzymatic debridement. For all patients, a dosage of Nexobrid, calculated as 2gr per 1% TBSA, was applied in a 2-3 mm thick uniform layer on the ulcer eschar and fibrin tissue and left for 4 hours, covered with an occlusive dressing. Patients were assessed in terms of ulcer cleansing 24 hours and 7 days post Nexobrid debridement, by wound bed score (WBS) and % of remaining necrotic tissue. A patient pain VAS was also recorded at 24 hours and 7 days post debridement. Adverse events at these time points were also noted. The results documented a complete removal of necrotic tissue in a time frame of 4 hours. At 24 hours, all lesions were completely debrided. At 7 days, there was a partial recurrence of necrotic tissue, as also documented by decreased WBS. All patients reported none to mild pain, and no adverse events were noted, except for mild erythema along the edges of the lesion on healthy skin in one case. This is a preliminary observation. Optimal dosage and application of Nexobrid in this indication needs to be validated by further controlled data.
Nexobrid est un agent de débridement hautement sélectif utilisé dans la prise en charge des brûlés pour réaliser une excision enzymatique. Entre octobre 2016 et avril 2017, nous l'avons utilisé pour réaliser ce même type d'excision chez 6 patients souffrant d'ulcères chroniques de jambe, d'étiologies variées. Nous avons appliqué 2g de Nexobrid par % de surface coporelle atteinte, en une couche uniforme de 2-3 mm d'épaisseur laissée en place 4h sous pansement occlusif. À 24 h et 7 jours, nous avons évalué le score de fond de plaie (Wound Bed Score-WBS), le pourcentage restant de tissu nécrotique, la douleur (EVA) et les effets secondaires. À 4h, les tissus nécrosés avaient entièrement disparu, ne réapparaissant pas à 24 h. À J7, on notait une réapparition, sur une surface moindre, de tissus nécroiques et une altération du WBS. Les patients étaient non ou peu douloureux. Le seul effet secondaire observé, chez un patient, a été un érythème modéré de la peau saine circonscrivant la lésion. À la suite de cette étude préliminaire, des études plus larges permettront de préciser les modalités d'utilisation de Nexobrid dans cette indication.
