Abstract
Objetivo: Evaluación del dolor utilizando sustituto de nanocelulosa (EPICITE HYDRO) versus cura convencional en quemaduras de segundo grado profundo en pacientes adultos. Materiales y métodos: El estudio es de tipo intervención, analítico, retrospectivo a través del historial clínico, comparativo. Participaron 142 pacientes de ambos sexos, con edades entre 30 a 75 años, atendidos en consultorio externo entre enero de 2022 a julio 2024, realizado en la Clínica Skin Medical. Todos presentaban quemaduras de segundo grado intermedio profundo, afectando menos del 20% de la dermis expuesta. Se utilizó como medición del dolor la escala de (EVA) para ambos grupos y se hicieron las mediciones a las 24 horas, 72 horas, una semana, tres semanas. Resultados: Indicándose en promedios con la escala de dolor y comparándose entre ambos grupos, la nanocelulosa (Epicite Hydro) versus cura convencional. Reflejando menores promedios de dolor en el grupo de la nanocelulosa en el periodo de seguimiento respecto al tratamiento convencional. Dando especial atención a una mejoría del dolor en las primeras 24 horas y de manera sostenida en las tomas realizadas a las 72 horas, una semana y tres semanas, corroborándose con los resultados estadísticamente significativos (p<0.05). Conclusiones: Se evidenció la mejoría del dolor con la escala de (EVA), con el uso del sustituto de nanocelulosa. Se destaca la existencia del dolor leve para el grupo que usó la nanocelulosa en contraste con el dolor moderado que fue característico en los casos con tratamiento de cura convencional.
Objective: Pain assessment using a nanocellulose substitute (EPICITE HYDRO) versus conventional treatment for deep second-degree burns in adult patients. Materials and methods: This is an interventional, analytical, retrospective, comparative study using clinical records. The study involved 142 patients of both sexes, aged 30 to 75 years, seen in an outpatient clinic between January 2022 and July 2024, conducted at the Skin Medical Clinic. All had deep intermediate second-degree burns affecting less than 20% of the exposed dermis. The pain score (VAS) was used for both groups, and measurements were taken at 24 hours, 72 hours, one week, and three weeks. Results: Averages were obtained using the pain scale and a comparison was made between the two groups, comparing nanocellulose (Epicite Hydro) versus conventional dressing. Lower average pain was observed in the nanocellulose group during the follow-up period compared to the conventional treatment. Special attention was paid to pain improvement in the first 24 hours and sustained improvement in the measurements taken at 72 hours, one week, and three weeks, corroborated by statistically significant results (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Pain improvement was evident using the VAS scale with the use of the nanocellulose substitute. Mild pain was noted in the nanocellulose group, in contrast to the moderate pain characteristic of cases treated with conventional dressing.
