Dermatitis irritativa del pañal. Tratamiento local con productos barrera y calidad de vida / Diaper rash. Local treatment with barrier products and quality of life

Los trastornos cutáneos son derivados, en la mayoría de las ocasiones, de agresiones continuas por elementos externos que tiene como respuesta reacciones como la pérdida de lípidos epidérmicos por efecto de la humedad, cambios en el pH cutáneo (alcalinización) y aumento del coeficiente de fricción (denudación) junto al desequilibrio de la flora saprofita de la piel, que se traducen en procesos irritativos y en un aumento de la infecciones fúngicas y bacterianas en la zona expuesta a humedad. Dada la importancia de evaluar la calidad de vida de los pacientes con dermatitis que son tratados con productos barrera no irritantes (PBNI) se ha desarrollado un estudio multicéntrico, con el objetivo de evaluar los aspectos relacionados con la mejora en la calidad de cuidados a pacientes tratados con Cavilon® que presentaban dermatitis por incontinencia mediante la escala ESCLI. Los pacientes incluidos en el estudio fueron 25. Los resultados muestran una mejora importante de los aspectos evaluados mediante la escala ESCLI (..) (AU)

The skin disorders are derived in most cases continuous injuries by external factors that have how responses the loss of epidermal lipids by the effect of moisture, derived of changes in skin pH (alkalinization), an increased coefficient of friction (denudation) and the imbalance of the saprophytic flora of the skin, give how a result an increase to the irritative processes and the fungal and bacterian infections in the area exposed to moisture. Given the importance of assessing the quality of life of patients with dermatitis who are treated with No Sting Barrier Film (NSBF) CavilonTM has developed a multicenter study, in order to evaluate the related to improving the quality of care that patients Incontinence Dermatitis with ESCLI scale. Patients included in the study were 25. The results show a significant improvement aspects ESCLI assessed by the scale of the evolution of the dermatitis. This scale assesses aspects such as the area affected by the redness and severity. Show a reversal 47% of cases. The denudation of the skin in the diaper area disappears in 56% of cases and the severity of the denudation which has a 47% improvement. The assessment of pain in the area of incontinence, is reduced by 76% in the area of incontinence and a 73% when cleaning the area. The findings of this study prove indicates that the application of forming products of a No Sting Barrier Film (NSBF) in patients with incontinence dermatitis is an alternative to conventional treatments such as creams or ointments or zinc oxide paste water. The reversal and reduction of dermatitis is an aspect that has improved important. The results that we can relate to quality of life or longer specifically with the improvement of pain are significant (AU)

To evaluate the properties of the Indafoam hydro-regulating dressing, the authors planned a study on the clinical application these materials have in relation to the evolution of injuries and their etiology at the same time evaluating the behavior of these products in diverse aspects related to the healing processes. This study is an open, multi-centric prospective observational study having repeated measurements in a group of patients who suffered from injuries having diverse etiology

Para evaluar las propiedades del apósito hidrorregulador Indafoam®, se planteó un estudio de la aplicación clínica de estos materiales en relación a la evolución de las heridas y su etiología, y se evaluó su comportamiento en diferentes aspectos relacionados con el proceso de curación. Se trata de un estudio prospectivo observacional, abierto y multicéntrico, de medidas repetidas en una cohorte de pacientes que presentan heridas de diversa etiología(AU)

Incontinencia / Incontinence

La incontinencia supone un problema añadido para el paciente encamado, entre otras razones, porque aumenta el riesgo de dermatitis perineal. Recientemente se han desarrollado escalas de valoración que permiten valorar los efectos que provoca sobre la integridad de la piel y han surgido nuevos productos que actúan como barreras no irritantes y que permiten inspeccionar visualmente la zona afectada. Se sumarían al arsenal de productos y herramientas ya conocidos (colectores, catéteres, etc.) de que se dispone para manejar la incontinencia(AU)

Incontinence presents an additional problem for a bedridden patient, among other reasons because incontinence increases the risk of perineal dermatitis. Recently, evaluation scales have been drawn up which permit evaluating the effects incontinence provokes on the integrity of the skin and new products have been developed which act as non-irritating barriers and which permit professionals to visually inspect the affected area. These new products increase the arsenal of already known products and tools such as bed pans, catheters, etc. which professionals have at their disposal to control incontinence(AU)
