Resumen

CESPEDES PERENA, Vivian et al. Usefulness of topical Oleozón® in the oral ulcers of the patient with mechanical artificial ventilation, Guantanamo 2018. Rev. inf. cient. [online]. 2019, vol.98, n.5, pp.619-629.  Epub 29-Oct-2019. ISSN 1028-9933.

Introduction:

Ulcers of the oral mucosa are common in patients with mechanical artificial ventilation.

Objective:

To determine the usefulness of topical Oleozón® in the treatment of oral mucosal ulcers in patients treated with mechanical artificial ventilation in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the General Teaching Hospital "Dr. Agostinho Neto”.

Method:

A case-control study was carried out during January-July 2018. The universe was made up of 70 patients, from which a random sample was selected and grouped in a control group (n=20) who were cleaned the oral cavity with 0.9% physiological saline solution and a study group (n=20) who were cured of the ulcer with topical Oleozón®. The location, area, form of presentation and magnitude of the ulcer and the clinical evolution were analyzed according to the treatment that was applied.

Results:

The satisfactory evolution of this type of ulcer was required in 40.0% of the patients that formed the control group and 90.0% of those who made up the study group (p<0.01). In this last group, the window between the start of treatment and control of the oral ulcer was 4.5 ± 1.1 days and for the first one it was 8.1 ± 2.7 days (p<0.01).

Conclusion:

The convenience of the application of topical Oleozón® to the treatment of oral mucosal ulcers that occur in patients treated with mechanical artificial ventilation is revealed.
