Tratamento de feridas: análise da produção científica publicada na Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem de 1970-2003

This systematic review aimed to analyze the scientific production concerning the use of products in the treatment of wounds, published by REBEn from 1970 to 2003. We consulted all numbers of the journal published in the period, identifying 41 articles of interest. After an appraisal reading we included 11 papers in the sample. We identified a larger publication in the decade of 1990, prevailing authors of the attendance area, almost-experimental plan and experience repor. The studied products were papain, propolis, sugar, Unna boot, activated coal, transparent film, amniotic membrane, albumin, collagenase, hydrocolloid dressing, calcium alginate, anti-bacterial agents, essential greasing acids, viscose fibers and polyester. The findings demonstrated they denote positive effects of the use of the products.Esta revision bibliografica sistematizada tuvo como objetivo analizar la produccion cientifica respecto a la utilizacion de productos en el tratamiento de heridas, publicada en la REBEn de 1970 a 2003. Consultamos todos los numeros de la revista publicados en el periodo, identificando 41 articulos de interes. Despues de la lectura de los mismos, incluimos en la nuestra 11 textos. Identificamos mayor publicacion en la decada del 1990, predominando autores del area asistencial, delineamiento casi-experimental y de relato de experiencia. Los productos estudiados fueron papaina, propolis, azucar, bota de Unna, carbon activado, pelicula transparente, membrana amniotica, albumina, colagenasa, hidrocoloide, alginato de calcio, unguentos antimicrobianas, acidos grasos esenciales, fibras de viscosa y poliester. Los resultados encontrados denotan efectos positivos de la utilizacion de los productos.

The use of essential fatty acids in the treatments of wounds

In spite of being widely spread throughout Brazil, the use of essential fatty acids (EFA) for wound healing is controversial. This study aimed at identifying and analyzing the available scientific evidence for EFA to be used in the treatment of wounds. This is a descriptive study, carried out through a systematic literature review, concerning the Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde (Health Online Library) and PubMed data bank, from 1970 to 2006. Initially, we identified 503 references. After the relevance tests I and II, 11 articles were included in the analysis, showing evidence of recommendation- level II and III for EFA to be used in burns, mediastinitis, among others situations. Most studies still refer to its use in animal. Relevant publications are still scarce.
