Low-level laser therapy for treatment of venous ulcers evaluated with the Nursing Outcome Classification: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

BACKGROUND: Different methods are available for the treatment of venous ulcers. Most current approaches focus on a combination of topical and compressive therapy. Adjuvant low-level laser therapy may be helpful in lesions with a protracted healing course, but evidence for its use is still limited. This paper describes the protocol of a randomized controlled trial designed to compare the effect of adjuvant low-level laser therapy versus conventional venous ulcer tissue repair, evaluated by a nurse using clinical indicators from the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC). METHODS/DESIGN: For this prospective randomized controlled trial, 40 adult patients of both sexes with active venous ulcers will be recruited. Subjects will be selected by the sealed-envelope method without any annotation or external identification that might refer to the type of study group. At the time of unblinding, a label with the description of the group to which the patient belongs (that is, control or intervention) will be found inside the envelope. Conventional treatment (topical medication and compressive therapy) will be offered to both groups. Additionally, the intervention group will receive adjuvant low-level laser therapy. All patients will be followed weekly until ulcer healing or for a maximum of 16 weeks. Evaluation of tissue repair will be based on 14 clinical indicators drawn from NOC for wound healing (secondary intention) and tissue integrity (skin and mucous membranes). The primary endpoint will be decreased wound size and scar formation. This laser therapy is expected to enhance the quality, speed, and effectiveness of the treatment of venous ulcers, a chronic condition. This should reduce associated costs to the health service and allow patients to resume their daily activities sooner. DISCUSSION: This randomized clinical trial will use a validated method to investigate the effect of a novel intervention for the treatment of venous ulcers. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03229330 . Registered on July 2017.

O efeito do laser de baixa potência no tratamento de úlceras venosas avaliado pela Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC): ensaio clínico randomizado / The effect of low-power laser in the treatment of venous ulcers evaluated by the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC): randomized clinical trial

Introduction: The healing and maintenance of tissue integrity of the venous ulcer (VU) consists of a cascade of cellular and molecular events that interact with each other for tissue regeneration to occur. Its treatment depends on the association of different mechanisms through the application of topical products and the use of compressive therapy. Despite technological advances related to the supply and development of technological coverage, there is still no effective impact on the incidence of these injuries, which has high financial costs and damages to patients. Currently, Low-level Laser Therapy (LLLT) has been used to accelerate the cicatricial process in different lesions thanks to its biostimulatory and anti-inflammatory action, which allows its use in VU. In order to guide the choice of the most appropriate treatment, however, an accurate evaluation of the lesion is essential. Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) has the results which allow the evaluation of the effect of treatment through clinical indicators. Objective: To compare the effect of adjunctive treatment of LLLT with the conventional treatment in tissue repair of venous ulcer in patients at the Outpatient Nursing clinic. Method: Randomized clinical trial performed at a Brazilian university hospital. The sample consisted of 40 patients with VU, equally randomized to the Control Group (CG) and Intervention Group (GI). Patients were followed up at a weekly nursing visit for 16 weeks or until the lesion was healed. GC received conventional treatment with topical dressings and compressive therapy, while GI was added to TLBP as an adjuvant. An energy dose of 1 to 3 J / cm 2 was used with an AsGalaser laser, with a wavelength of 660 nm. The application occurred punctually at the edges and scanning method in the lesion bed. The wound healing process was evaluated in both groups by eight clinical indicators of Wound healing: second intention (1103): Decreased wound size, Scar formation, granulation, Exudate, Fow wound odor, Macerated skin, Surrounding skin erythema and Periwound edema. The evaluation also occurred from six outcome indicators Tissue integrity: skin and mucous membranes (1101): Thickness, Hydration / Skin flaking, Abnormal Pigmentation, Pruritus, Pain and Necrosis. The analysis took into account the 5-point Likert scale, in which 1 corresponds to the worst score and 5 to the most desirable, using the Generalized Estimating Equation. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee (15-0634). Results: The mean age was 64.55 ± 11.69 years for GC and 63 ± 12.25 for GI. In the CG, 17 (85%) patients were male, whereas in GI female patients prevailed with 11 (55%) patients, generating the only statistically significant difference (p = 0.019) between the groups. The white color (16-80%) and schooling at the level of functional illiterate (15-75% in CG and 12- 63,2% in IG) prevailed in the groups. Regarding wound time, 40% of patients in both groups have one to five years. Eighty-two wounds were evaluated, 39 of GC and 43 of GI, resulting in 1066 consultations, of which 551 occurred in GC and 515 in GI. Regarding wound healing: second intention (1103), GC started with a mean score of 2.87 ± 0.35 and, at the end of the study, presented 4.21 ± 0.60, while GI started with 2.67 ± 0.46 and reached 4.46 ± 0.47 (p = 0.025). There was a statistically significant difference in the comparison between the groups in four of the eight indicators: Granulation (p = 0.010), Decreased wound size (p = 0.010), Scar formation (p = 0.034) and Exudate (p = 0.011). Regarding the Outcome Tissue integrity: skin and mucous membranes (1101), GC started with a mean score of 3.74 ± 0.38 and reached 4.27 ± 0.46 in the last visit, while the GI started with 3.43 ± 0.42 and reached 4.29 ± 0.44. In 11 the analysis of the six indicators of the NOC result, a statistically significant difference was observed in three of them: Abnormal pigmentation (p = 0.008), Thickness (p = 0.010) and Hydration / Skin flaking (p = 0.015) in the comparison between groups. Regarding the conventional treatment, grouped in action class, the CG prevailed enzymatic debridement (17.8%), dressings for infection control (52.8%) and topical agents for maintenance of the humid environment (52.7%). In the GI, dressings for exudate control (9.0%), topical agents for edge protection (31.3%) and perlesional skin (104.2%) emerged. In LLLT the red laser was used, with the mode of irradiation sweeping predominantly in the ulcer bed (97.7%), with an average time of one minute, in the power of 30mW. The mode of point irradiation was used at the edges of the lesion, with a predominance (61.8%) of 10 points, at a distance of one cm each, with energy of 1J/cm2. This mode was also used in the perilesional area, however, with an energy of 21J / cm2. Conclusion: LLLT is an effective adjuvant treatment for tissue regeneration of VU and confirms the clinical indicators of NOC outcome.

METHOD: the sample comprised 16 expert nurses. The data was collected with an instrument about the interventions and their definitions were scored on a Likert scale by the experts. The data was analyzed statistically, using the calculation of weighted averages (WA). The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee (56/2010). RESULTS: nine interventions were validated as 'priority' (WA ≥0.80), among them Prevention of PU (MP=0.92); 22 as 'suggested' (WA >0.50 and <0.80) and 20 were discarded (WA ≤0.50). CONCLUSIONS: the prevention of PU results from the implementation of specific interventions related to the risk factors for development of the lesion, with implications for nursing practice, teaching and research.

OBJECTIVE: to validate the Nursing Intervention Classifications (NIC) for the diagnosis 'Risk of Impaired Skin Integrity' in patients at risk of pressure ulcers (PU). METHOD: the sample comprised 16 expert nurses. The data was collected with an instrument about the interventions and their definitions were scored on a Likert scale by the experts. The data was analyzed statistically, using the calculation of weighted averages (WA). The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee (56/2010). RESULTS: nine interventions were validated as 'priority' (WA ≥0.80), among them Prevention of PU (MP=0.92); 22 as 'suggested' (WA >0.50 and <0.80) and 20 were discarded (WA ≤0.50). CONCLUSIONS: the prevention of PU results from the implementation of specific interventions related to the risk factors for development of the lesion, with implications for nursing practice, teaching and research.

OBJETIVO: validar as intervenções da classificação de enfermagem NIC para o diagnóstico Risco de Integridade da Pele Prejudicada, em pacientes em risco de úlcera por pressão (UP). MÉTODO: a amostra foi composta por 16 enfermeiras experts. Os dados foram coletados em instrumento contendo a caracterização das participantes, além de uma tabela com as intervenções e a definição de cada uma delas, bem como uma escala Likert que foi pontuada pelas experts. Os dados foram analisados estatisticamente, utilizando-se cálculo de média ponderada (MP). O estudo foi aprovado em Comitê de Ética e Pesquisa (56/2010). RESULTADOS: validaram-se nove intervenções como prioritárias (MP ≥0,80), dentre elas prevenção de UP (MP=0,92); 22 como sugeridas (MP>0,50 e <0,80) e 20 foram descartadas (MP≤0,50). CONCLUSÕES: a prevenção da UP perpassa pela implementação de intervenções específicas e relacionadas aos fatores de risco ao desenvolvimento da lesão, com implicações na prática, ensino e pesquisa de enfermagem.

Implantação da Escala de Braden em uma unidade de terapia intensiva de um hospital universitário / Introduction of the Braden Scale in an intensive care unit of a university hospital / Implementación de la Escala de Braden en una unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital universitario

Estudo prospectivo, longitudinal, que teve por objetivos implantar a Escala de Braden (EB) como instrumento de predição de risco para úlcera por pressão (UP) e analisar os resultados do seu uso em uma unidade de terapia intensiva. A amostra foi de 74 pacientes, os dados coletados por instrumento contendo a EB, analisados pela estatística descritiva simples. Encontrou-se 58 (78,37 por cento) pacientes com escore < a 13 e uma incidência de UP de 25,67 por cento. Em 45 (60,8 por cento) pacientes houve o preenchimento diário da EB, destes 5 (11,1 por cento) desenvolveram UP; em 29 (39,1 por cento) não houve aplicação diária da EB, destes, 14 (48,2 por cento) desenvolveram UP. Verificou-se aplicabilidade da EB, o que possibilitou identificar os pacientes em risco para UP. As dificuldades na implantação da EB foram referentes à periodicidade de seu preenchimento, que aponta à necessidade da conscientização e preparo dos enfermeiros para o uso desta ferramenta no cuidado ao paciente.

This is a prospective and longitudinal study which aimed to introduce the Braden Scale (BS) as an instrument to predict the risk of pressure ulcer (PU), and to analyze the results of its use in an intensive care unit. The sample was of 74 patients and the data were obtained by an instrument containing BS. Such data were analyzed by a simple descriptive statistic. 58 patients (78.37 percent) had a score < 13 and PU incidence of 25.67 percent. In 45 patients (60.80 percent), BS was daily filled in. From these patients, 5 (11.10 percent) developed PU. In 29 patients (39.10 percent), BS was not daily filled in. From these patients, 14 (48.20 percent) showed PU. Results showed the efficiency of BS, which allowed identifying patients with PU risk. The difficulties of using BS refer to the periodic filling, which shows the need to educate and prepare nurses to use BS in the care of patients.

Se verificó la aplicalibidad de la escala, que nos ha permitido identificar a los pacientes en riesgo de UP. Las dificultades en la aplicación se relacionaron con la frecuencia de llenado, lo que apunta a la necesidad de concientización y preparación de las enfermeras a utilizar esta herramienta en la atención al paciente.
