RESUMO

A progressively increasing percentage of the elderly live during the last years of their lives in nursing homes. Although these institutions are intended to mimic life at home as much as possible, they have characteristics that make them quite similar to a "nosocomiun", i.e. an establishment for the treatment of the sick. The very coexistence among the elderly, the fact of sharing caregivers and the very significant exposure to third parties, together with the frequent predisposing diseases to infection in this population, make infection frequent among residents and also easily transmissible. This leads us to ask what can be done to prevent infection in this environment and more specifically what is the state of the art of the matter in a Western European nation such as ours. The Board of Trustees of the Health Sciences Foundation has asked itself a series of questions on the subject of infection prevention in Nursing Homes, the structure of procedures, the legislation available, compliance with the measures indicated, the best indicators of the processes and therefore, the need to promote in Spain a document of recommendations to avoid infections in this poplation whose morbidity and mortality need not be highlighted. To this end, a multidisciplinary group of experts in different aspects of this problem has been convened and asked the proposed questions. The questions were discussed by the group as a whole and led to a series of conclusions agreed upon by the participants. The results of the meeting are reported below.

RESUMO

INTRODUCCIÓN: La reciente pandemia de COVID-19 ha representado la utilización por parte de los profesionales de la salud de diferentes equipos de protección individual (EPI), lo que ha dado lugar a la aparición de lesiones cutáneas asociadas a los mismos (LC-EPI). Conocer la epidemiología, las características y los factores relacionados con el uso de los diferentes tipos de EPI y la prevención y el tratamiento de las LC-EPI puede ser muy útil para comprender el alcance del problema y definir estrategias para su prevención y tratamiento en posibles pandemias futuras. MÉTODOS: Estudio transversal realizado por el Grupo Nacional para el Estudio y Asesoramiento en Úlceras por Presión y Heridas Crónicas (GNEAUPP) en el ámbito geográfico del Estado español, mediante una encuesta autoadministrada utilizando un cuestionario de Google Forms. El universo de estudio fueron profesionales de la salud, de cualquier disciplina y nivel asistencial o tipo de institución que habían estado en contacto con pacientes o sospechosos de COVID-19 y habían utilizado EPI durante la primera ola de la pandemia de COVID-19 en España. RESULTADOS: Se obtuvieron 2078 cuestionarios, el 75,5% de enfermeras, el 10,79% de técnicos en cuidados auxiliares de enfermería (TCAE) y el 6,6% de médicos. De los respondedores, el 84,7% eran mujeres y el 15,3% hombres con una edad media de 43,7 años. En el 18,2% de los casos, la institución del profesional contaba con un protocolo para la prevención de las LC-EPI, en el 10,2% el profesional no sabía si existía y en el 71,3% restante la institución no contaba con dicho protocolo. El 29,9% de los profesionales utilizaba siempre algún producto de prevención de LC-EPI y el 25,3% en ocasiones. El 52,4% de los encuestados informó haber presentado al menos una LC-EPI, de los cuales el 39% había presentado una, el 35,8% dos, el 14,3% tres, el 2,2% cuatro y el 8,6% más de cuatro. En relación con el tipo de lesiones, el 74,3% fueron definidas como lesiones por presión (LPP), el 11% como lesiones por fricción (LF), el 8,5% como lesiones combinadas o multicausales (LCMC) y el 6,1% como lesiones cutáneas asociadas a la humedad (LESCAH). La duración media de las lesiones incidentes fue de 11,6 días (9,7 días para las LPP, 10,2 días para las LF, 19,9 días para las LCMC y 19,4 días para las LESCAH). En el artículo se presenta información más detallada por tipo de dispositivo causante, tipología y gravedad de las lesiones por dispositivo, así como las medidas preventivas utilizadas


INTRODUCTION: The recent COVID-19 pandemic has represented the use by health care professionals (HCP) of different personal protective equipment (PPE), resulting in the appearance of skin injuries associated with PPE (PPE-SI). Knowing the epidemiology, characteristics and factors related to the use of different types of PPE and the prevention and treatment of PPE-SI can be very useful to understand the scope of the problem and to define strategies for its prevention and treatment in possible future pandemics. METHODS: To this end, the GNEAUPP proposed the performance of a cross-sectional study, in the geographical area of the Spanish state, by means of a self-administered survey using a Google forms questionnaire. The study universe was HCP, from any discipline and from any level of care or type of institution with patients who have been in contact with COVID-19 patients or COVID-19 suspects and have used PPE during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Spain. MAIN RESULTS: We obtained 2078 questionnaires, 75.5% from nurses, 10.79% from nurse aids, and 6.6% from physicians. Of these, 84.7% were women and 15.3% were men with an average age of 43.7 years. In 18.2% of the cases the institution of the professional had a protocol for the prevention of PPE-SI, in 10.2% the professional did not know if it existed or not and in the remaining 71.3% the institution did not have such a protocol. 29.9% of the professionals always used some prevention product and 25.3% sometimes. 52.4% of respondents reported having submitted at least one PPE-SI, of which 39% had submitted one, 35.8% two, 14.3% three, 2.2% four and 8.6% more than four. In relation to PPE-SI, 74.3% were defined as pressure injuries (PI), 11% were friction injuries (FI), 8.5% were combined or multicausal injuries (CMCI) and 6.1% were skin injuries associated with moisture (MASI). The mean duration of incident injuries was 11.6 days (9.7 days for PI, 10.2 days for FI, 19.9 days for CMCI and 19.4 days for MASI). More detailed Information is presented in the paper by type of device causing, typology and severity of injuries per device as well as preventive measures used

RESUMO

En la última década han aparecido en el mercado los ácidos grasos hiperoxigenadoscomo una herramienta a tener en cuenta en la prevención de las úlceraspor presión. Sin embargo, disponemos de pocos estudios que avalen suuso, especialmente en estos últimos años. Realizamos un estudio de revisiónbibliográfica de los artículos publicados de ácidos grasos hiperoxigenados conel objetivo de conocer su uso y efectividad. Se constata que los ácidos grasoshiperoxigenados son muy importantes en el mantenimiento de la integridadde la piel evitando la formación de úlceras por presión o retrasando su instauración.Aún no disponiendo de ensayos clínicos que evidencien su uso enotras patologías pero, durante los últimos años, se han venido utilizando conresultados satisfactorios en el cuidado de la piel de personas con alteracionesvasculares de miembros inferiores, en el pie diabético y en el cuidado de lapiel perilesional. Los ácidos grasos hiperoxigenados son una opción terapéuticaóptima que debería formar parte de los protocolos clínicos de actuación deenfermería en la prevención de las úlceras crónicas y en el cuidado de la piel perilesional(AU)


Hyperoxigenated fatty acids (HOFA) have appeared in the market in the lastdecade to provide a tool in the prevention of pressure ulcers. However, there are fewstudies demonstrating their usefulness, especially in last few years. A study of bibliographicalrevision of articles dealing about hyperoxigenated fatty acids wasperformed with the aim of knowing their usefulness and effectiveness. It is statedthat the hyperoxygenated fatty acids are very important in the maintenance of theintegrity of the skin to avoid the formation of pressure ulcers or delaying theirrestoration. Not yet having clinical trials demonstrating their use in otherpathologies, recently, HOFA have been used with satisfactory results in the skincare of people with vascular alterations of inferior members, in the diabetic footand the wound care of the perilesional ulcer. The hyperoxygenated fatty acids arean optimal therapeutic option that should form a part of the clinical protocols of action of nursery in the prevention of the chronic ulcers and in the wound care ofthe perilesional ulcer(AU)

RESUMO

Objetivos: Valorar la eficacia clínica de los productos disponibles para el tratamiento local de las úlceras por presión (UPP) basados en la cura en ambiente húmedo (CAH) así como su rentabilidad (coste-efectividad). Fuentes de datos: La búsqueda de estudios publicados se realizó en bases de datos bibliograficas: CINAHL , Cuiden Plus , Embase , LILACS y MEDLINE . También se realizó una búsqueda inversa, con recuperación secundaria. No se han incluido estudios no publicados. Métodos de revisión: Se han incluido ensayos clínicos que comparan a) productos de CAH con cura tradicional seca (CT) y b) diferentes productos de CAH entre ellos, para el tratamiento de UPP. Cada artículo fue valorado por dos revisores independientemente, mediante el CASP y además se valoró la calidad de la evidencia mediante el sistema GRADE. Se extrajeron datos generales, datos sobre efectividad clínica, datos sobre rentabilidad y datos de comportamiento del apósito. Para estimar el efecto se ha calculado el riesgo relativo (RR) con su intervalo de confianza del 95% y se ha realizado un metaanálisis (modelo de efectos aleatorios) cuando fue apropiado. Resultados: 66 estudios potencialmente relevantes de lo que 30 se eliminaron por puntuación CASP< 5 y otros 10 no se tuvieron en cuenta sus resultados por tener muy baja calidad de evidencia. Un metaanálisis muestra la ventaja del uso de hidrocoloides (HCL) frente a la CT (RR= 2,05 IC 95% 1,20-3,52). Estudios individuales que no permiten metaanálisis muestran la ventaja de otros productos de CAH frente a la CT y un metaanálisis de todos los estudios que comparan la CAH frente a la CT lo confirma (RR= 1,61 IC 95% 1,28-2,02). No hay diferencias de efectividad clínica de los HCL frente a las espumas de poliuretano (EP) (RR= 1,11 IC 95% 0,60-2,05), ni de otros productos entre sí. En cuanto a la rentabilidad distintos estudios muestran que los productos basados en la CAH (HCL y EP) son más rentables que la CT. En cuanto al confort las EP presentan una mayor capacidad de absorción del exudado y una mayor facilidad en la retirada que los HCL. Conclusiones: Existen muchos estudios con una evidencia muy baja o de muestra muy pequeña, lo que no permite considerarlos. Los productos para el tratamiento de UPP basados en CAH tienen mayor eficacia clínica y son más rentables que el tratamiento tradicional. No hay diferencias en la eficacia clínica de un tipo de productos de tratamiento en ambiente húmedo sobre los otros tipos, aunque hay datos relativos al confort y la absorción que muestran ventajas de las espumas de poliuretano frente a los hidrocoloides


Aims: To evaluate the clinical efficiency of the available products for pressure ulcers (PU) treatment which are based on moist environment treatment (MET) and their cost-effectiveness. Sources of data: The search of published studies was carried out in bibliographical databases: CINAHL, Cuiden Plus, Embase, LILACS and MEDLINE. An inverse search was also carried out, with secondary recovery. Unpublished studies were not included. Methods of review: Clinical trials comparing: a) products based on MET and traditional treatments (TT) and b) different types of products of MET, for PU treatments. Every article was assessed independently by two reviewers, using CASP and the GRADE system for assessing the quality of evidence. Data extracted were general data, data on clinical efficiency, data of cost-effectiveness and data about dressing performance. To estimate the effect we used the relative risk (RR) with a 95% confidence interval. A meta-analysis (random effects model) was carried out when appropriate. Results: 66 potentially relevant studies were identified. 30 were excluded because of scoring CASP< 5 and 10 were not considered for analysis because of a very low quality of evidence. A meta-analysis shows the advantage of the use of hydrocolloid (HCL) vs. TT (RR= 2.05 IC 95% 1.20-3.52). Individual studies that do not permit metaanalysis show the advantage of other products of MET vs. TT and a metaanalysis of all studies comparing MET vs. TT confirms it (RR= 1.61 IC 95% 1.28-2.02). There are no differences in clinical efficiency of HCL vs. polyurethane foam (PF) (RR= 1.11 IC 95% 0.60-2.05), nor between other products. Different studies show that products based on MET (HCL and PF) are more cost-effective than the TT. Foams show greater exudates absorption capacity and are removed easier than HCL. Conclusions: They are many studies with a very low quality of evidence or with too small a sample, which does not permit to consider them. Products based on MET for PU treatment have greater clinical efficiency and are more cost-effective than TT. There is no difference in the clinical efficiency between different types of MET products. Foams advantage HCL in comfort and exudates absorption

RESUMO

Desde el año 1999 el GNEAUPP consideró de vital interés para rescatar y mantener el valor real del problema de las úlceras por presión (UPP), la constitución de un observatorio permanente de la evolución epidemiológica de estos procesos, cuyo siguiente paso ha sido el desarrollo de este 2º Estudio Nacional de Prevalencia que presentamos. Se definieron como objetivos de la investigación obtener indicadores epidemiológicos que permitiesen dimensionar el problema de las UPPen España, así como algunos aspectos relacionados con las tendencias de prevención de las mismas en instituciones de Atención Primaria, atención hospitalaria y asistencia sociosanitaria. Elaboramos un cuestionario postal para estimar la prevalencia puntual y media de UPP a partir de una muestra no aleatoria. En estos cuestionarios se solicitaba a los profesionales de Atención Primaria que informasen acerca de su lista de usuarios mayores de 14 años (Unidades básicas asistenciales de Medicina General) y a los profesionales de unidades de hospitalización o de centros sociosanitarios que informasen acerca de los pacientes de sus respectivas unidades. Se definió la prevalencia como “prevalencia puntual” (información en un solo momento del tiempo). Se calculó la prevalencia cruda (PC) y media (PM). Los cuestionarios contenían preguntas para obtener datos sobre los pacientes con UPP (numerador del indicador), sobre el total de pacientes de esa unidad a estudio (denominador del indicador), sobre las lesiones mismas, así como información de las tendencias de prevención de UPP en las instituciones de los receptores de los cuestionarios. Se reportaron 1.791 pacientes con UPP (39% en hospital, 27% en Atención Primaria y 34% en centros sociosanitarios). En Atención Primaria la PC fue de 3,73% y la PM de 9,11% ± 10,9% para los pacientes mayores de 14 años incluidos en el programa de atención domiciliaria; en las unidades de hospital, la PC fue de 8,24% y la PM de 8,91% ± 12,20%, y en los centros sociosanitarios la PC fue de 6,10% y la PM de 10,9% ± 11,9%. En todos los niveles asistenciales, el grupo de población mayoritariamente afecto era el de los mayores de 65 años (84,7%). Los cuestionarios recibidos proporcionaron información sobre 2.837 lesiones: 23,2% de estadio I, 37,5% de estadio II, 27,0% de estadio III, 11,8% de estadio IV y un 0,5% sin estadiar. La localización más frecuente fue el sacro seguido de los talones, en todos los niveles asistenciales. Puede concluirse que las UPP siguen constituyendo, todavía, un importante problema de salud pública que afecta de manera primordial a personas mayores


Since 1999, GNEAUPP considered it vital to create a permanent observatory of the epidemiological evolution of these processes, in order to rescue and maintain the real value of the problem of Pressure Ulcers, which has given way to the next step, the 2nd National Prevalence Study we now present. The objectives set forth in this study were to obtain epidemiological indicators that would allow us to find the extent of the pressure ulcer problem in Spain, as well as some aspects related to the prevention of such in primary care centers, hospitals and socio-sanitary institutions. We sent out a questionnaire in order to estimate the punctual and average prevalence of PU (initials UPP in Spanish) using non-random sampling. Primary Care professionals were asked to give information about their patients who were over 14 years of age (General Practitioner Surgeries) and professionals from Hospital Units and socio-sanitary centers were asked about their patients respectively. Prevalence was defined as ‘punctual prevalence’ (information in a specific moment in time). The crude prevalence (initials PC in Spanish) and average prevalence (PM) were calculated. The questionnaires only included questions on patients with PU (numerator of the indicator) over the total of patients of the unit being studied (denominator of the indicator) about the wounds caused as well as information on PU prevention in the institutions where each respondant worked. 1,791 patients were reported to have pressure ulcers (39% in hospital, 27% in primary care centers and 34% in socio-sanitary centers). In Primary Care, the PC was 3.73% and the PM was 9.11% ± 10.9% for patients over 14 years who were included in the home care program. In the hospital units, the PC was 8.24% and the PM was 8.91% ± 12.20% and in the socio-sanitary centers, the PC was 6.10% and the PM was 10.9% ± 11.9%. The group most affected of each health care level was the one over 65 years of age (84.7%). The completed questionnaires provided information about 2,837 wounds: 23.2% were stage I, 37.5% stage II, 27.0% stage III, 11.8% stage IV and 0.5% did not state the stage. PU most frequently affected the sacral region, followed by the heels, in all health care levels. It can be concluded that PU are still an important public health problem that affect mainly elderly people

RESUMO

Introducción: El estudio ATHAC recoge datos sobre heridas agudas y crónicas que son candidatas a un tratamiento a base de apósitos grasos neutros como la gama URGOTUL.Objetivos: Describir las características de las heridas, describir los tratamiento aplicados a estas heridas y explorar las opiniones de los profesionales de enfermería y los pacientes sobre los tratamientos en términos de aplicabilidad, adaptabilidad y confort para el paciente.Material y métodos: 1.500 pacientes fueron incluidos en el estudio de acuerdo al tipo de herida y a los tratamientos en uso. Se recogieron datos a partir de dos cuestionarios: uno para el paciente y otro para la enfermera responsable de sus cuidados. Las enfermeras recogieron los datos en el primer día de inclusión y los pacientes respondían al cuestionario 1 mes más tarde o antes si la herida había cicatrizado. Las variables recogidas por la enfermera fueron: datos sociodemográficos, etiología de las lesiones, características y localización de las heridas, aspectos y opiniones sobre el tratamiento. A los pacientes se les preguntó por la duración del tratamiento, el estado de la lesión en el momento de contestar y desde su punto de vista, así como su opinión sobre el dolor, satisfacción general y aceptabilidad. Se llevaron a cabo análisis descriptivos uni y bivariados. Para cada paciente, si tenía más de una lesión, se recogieron datos de la lesión de mayor tamaño.Resultados: Finalmente, se estudiaron 1.432 pacientes con una o más lesiones (420 tenían más de una lesión). El 60,4% eran mujeres y la edad media fue de 66 ± 19 años. En el caso de las heridas crónicas (657 lesiones) predominaron las úlceras venosas (47%) y las úlceras por presión (23%). En las heridas agudas (775 lesiones), la mayoría fueron traumáticas (41%) y quemaduras (32,5%). La principal localización en todas las lesiones fueron los miembros inferiores (57,4% en heridas crónicas y 39% en agudas). El 84,4% de los casos indicó presentar algún tipo de dolor previo al comienzo de este estudio. Al finalizar el estudio, un porcentaje menor del 20% indicó presentar algún tipo de dolor. El 72% de las heridas agudas y el 35% de las crónicas, como refieren los pacientes, había cicatrizado al finalizar el estudio (en un tiempo medio de entre 20- 40 días). El 54% de las heridas crónicas evoluciona favorablemente y el 26% de las agudas. Más del 80% de las heridas estudiadas fueron tratadas con la gama URGOTUL.Conclusión: URGOTUL es una buena opción para el tratamiento de este tipo de heridas, especialmente para las heridas agudas, en relación a su carácter atraumático y a su capacidad de cicatrización, así como la buena aceptación y satisfacción de los pacientes


Introduction: The ATHAC survey collected data on acute or chronic wounds that were candidates for a treatment with grassy dressings like URGOTUL.Aims: To describe the wound’s characteristics, to describe treatments applied to these woundsand to Explore Nurses’ and patients’ opinion about the treatments in terms of applicability, adaptability and patient comfort.Methods: 1,500 patients were included in the study according to wound types and treatments. Data were collected with nurses and patient questionnaires. Nurses collected data the first day of inclusion and patients respond one month after or when wounds healed. Variables collected by nurses were: demographic, aetiology, characteristics and location of the wound, aspects and opinions of the treatment. Patients were asked about duration of treatments, wound state from their point of view and opinions about pain, satisfaction and acceptability. Univariate and bivariate descriptive analysis were conducted. For each patient was selected the biggest wound for data collection.Results: Finally, 1432 patients with one or more lesions were studied (420 had more than one). 60,4% were women and the mean age was 66. Chronic wounds, mainly, were venous leg ulcer (47%) and pressure ulcers (23%). In acute wounds, were traumatic (41%) and burns (32,5%). The main location was inferior extremities (57,4% in chronic and 39% in acute). 49% of cases reported moderate to high spontaneous pain previous to this study. At the end, only 20-30% reported pain (during the study, in more than 80% the dressing used was Urgotul). 72% of acute wounds and 35% of chronic wounds, as referred by patients, were healed when finished the study (between 20-40 days of treatment).Conclusion: Urgotul is a good option for atraumatic treatment of this type of lesions, mainly for acute wounds, since more of them had healed in an acceptable time with a good patient satisfaction

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: This exploratory, clinical study aimed to explore the effect of an activated charcoal silver dressing (intervention) with cleansing and debridement (control) in reducing the level of bacteria in chronic wounds with no clinical signs of local infection. METHOD: Patients were randomly assigned to the intervention or control group and monitored for two weeks. Samples for bacterial status and cultivation were obtained by surface smear (spatula) and percutaneous aspiration first at baseline and then after 15 days of treatment. Sixty-seven lesions were included in the intervention group and 58 in the control group. RESULTS: At baseline, in the intervention group 71.6% of the wounds were contaminated, 7.5% had a high level of bacteria and 20.9% were infected. In the control group at baseline 65.5% of the wounds were contaminated, 6.9% colonised, 6.9% had a high level of bacteria and 20.7% were infected. There were no colonised wounds in the intervention group. After two weeks, combining totals of contaminated, colonised, a high level of bacteria and infection for each group, 85.1% (57/67) of the wounds in the intervention group had a positive bacterial level management (that is, a reduction in the number of bacteria in the wound) compared with 62.1% (36/58) in the control group (p=0.003). CONCLUSION: Activated charcoal dressings that contain silver control infection and reduce healing times, eliminating bacterial barriers.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: There are a wide variety of products to use to treat skin ulcers. Knowing the correct usage and application of each product aids in choosing the most appropriate for elderly patients. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the use of a hydrocellular dressing and its clinical test results. METHODS AND MATERIALS: This descriptive, prospective study begun on 6/X/97 and finished on 1/XII/97 included all the moderate or severely oozing skin ulcers, those classified as stage II, III, or IV, among the elderly at a home for them. This study discarded ulcers which barely bled; however, regional or systemic infection-related ulcers were included. RESULTS: 20 skin ulcers were analyzed. At the start, these covered an average surface are of 11.76 cm2 (DT 14.44), with an average severity index of 23.79 (DT 35.81). At the end of this study, the average area was 7.92 cm2 (DT 12.11) and the average severity index was 14,60 (DT 27,18). 7 ulcers, or 35%, had epithelized completely. During the 768 day length of this study, 290 dressings were applied. 100% of these were evaluated as easy to apply and remove; patients indicated an absence of pain; no dressing was disjoined when changed and therefore left no residue in the injured area. CONCLUSIONS: The dressing studied is effective for local treatment of all types of skin ulcers, regardless of their condition; this dressing reduces the number of changes necessary, especially in curing oozing ulcers; and finally, this dressing is easy to apply and aids in keeping the patient in good spirits.

RESUMO

Health education and advertising have a common aim: to modify human behaviour. Health education tries to induce healthy behaviours. In some occasions Publicity proposes risky behaviours. Ads appearing during a two-month period in magazines of the largest circulation in Spain are analyzed here. A total of 1,726 ads which could have a negative influence on health either because of the product or service offered or for the use of health as a persuasive argument in their text, are considered. The magazines Hola and Lecturas had the highest ratio ads/magazine. Spirits, food and drugs were the most frequently advertised products. And more than 50% of the ads used health and welfare as argument for better selling. Health educators should know and teach the critical analysis of publicity, and use advertisements as a teaching tool to enable people to see through misleading advertising.
