INTRODUCTION: Implementation of a curative strategy at the debridement stage associates systemic therapy with local therapy. OBJECTIVES: To determine which medical devices and technology other than support surfaces and what kinds of drugs to use in order to cleanse a pressure ulcer in 2012. METHOD: A systematic review of the literature querying the databases PASCAL Biomed, Cochrane Library and PubMed from 2000 to 2010 along with a compendium of prevailing professional practices. RESULTS: Pressure sore debridement is based on local care and on the use of alginates, hydrogels and hydrocolloids. DISCUSSION: The analyzed articles do not take into account any specific stage of pressure ulcer debridement. Data that might favor some kinds of dressings show a low level of evidence. Were it possible to decide on the dressing to be used for a given indication, professionals would be better able to orient and narrow down their choices. CONCLUSION: Use of alginates and hydrogels in pressure ulcer debridement is of real interest. According to expert opinion, other dressings (irrigo-absorbents, for instance) seem promising, but have yet to receive adequate scientific validation. |
