Resumo: | Pressure injuries are characterized by skin damage resulting from intense or prolonged pressure. Brazil has high incidence rates of pressure injuries in hospitalized patients, which makes laser therapy an alternative adjuvant treatment for tissue repair. The present study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of low-power laser therapy in the treatment of pressure injuries in adult patients. This is an integrative review with eight articles selected from the Lilacs, Pubmed and Medline databases between 2010 and 2020. After reading, analyzing and interpreting the data, it can be seen that, despite there are few recent studies on laser therapy on the subject of pressure injuries, the articles elucidate the use of laser as a promising treatment modality, which reduces the healing time and improves the appearance of wounds. However, the studies present different application parameters, wavelengths, energy density and treatment frequency, which makes it impossible for the authors to agree on the laser application technique. There is a need for further research to create and elucidate standards or protocols in order to optimize the quality of care for patients with pressure injuries and promote the dissemination of laser therapy as a safe and effective treatment. |

Brasil tiene altas tasas de incidencia de lesiones por presión en pacientes hospitalizados, lo que hace que la terapia con láser sea un tratamiento adyuvante alternativo para la reparación de tejidos. El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar la efectividad de la terapia con láser de baja potencia en el tratamiento de lesiones por presión en pacientes adultos. Se trata de una revisión integradora con ocho artículos seleccionados de las bases de datos Lilacs, Pubmed y Medline entre el período 2010 y 2020. Después de leer, analizar e interpretar los datos, se puede apreciar que, aunque existen pocos estudios recientes sobre la terapia con láser sobre el tema de las lesiones por presión, los artículos aclaran el uso del láser como una modalidad de tratamiento prometedora, que reduce el tiempo de curación y mejora la apariencia de las heridas. Sin embargo, los estudios presentan diferentes parámetros de aplicación, longitudes de onda, densidad de energía y frecuencia de tratamiento, lo que hace imposible que los autores se pongan de acuerdo sobre la técnica de aplicación del láser. Es necesario realizar más investigaciones para crear y dilucidar estándares o protocolos con el fin de optimizar la calidad de la atención de los pacientes con lesiones por presión y promover la difusión de la terapia con láser como un tratamiento seguro y eficaz.A lesão por pressão se caracteriza por um dano na pele resultante de uma pressão intense ou prolongada. O Brasil apresenta altas taxas de incidência de lesão por pressão em pacientes internados, o que torna a terapia a laser uma alternativa de tratamento adjuvante para a reparação tecidual. O presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar a efetividade da terapia a laser de baixa potência no tratamento de lesões por pressão em pacientes adultos. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa com oito artigos selecionados nas bases de dados Lilacs, Pubmed e Medline entre o período de 2010 e 2020. Após a leitura, análise e interpretação dos dados, pode-se verificar que, apesar de haver poucos estudos recentes sobre a terapia a laser na temática da lesão por pressão, os artigos elucidam o uso do laser como uma modalidade promissora de tratamento, que proporciona redução do tempo de cicatrização e melhora no aspecto das feridas. Contudo, os estudos apresentam distintos parâmetros de aplicação, comprimentos de onda, densidade de energia e frequência de tratamento, o que impossibilita um consenso entre os autores sobre a técnica de aplicação do laser. Há a necessidade de novas pesquisas para criar e elucidar padronizações ou protocolos, a fim de otimizar a qualidade de atendimento aos pacientes portadores de lesão por pressão e promover a divulgação da terapia a laser como um tratamento seguro e efetivo.Research, Society and Development2020-10-12info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/909410.33448/rsd-v9i10.9094Research, Society and Development; Vol. 9 No. 10; e6589109094Research, Society and Development; Vol. 9 Núm. 10; e6589109094Research, Society and Development; v. 9 n. 10; e65891090942525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/9094/8048Copyright (c) 2020 Daiane da Rosa Monteiro; Ana Cristina Pretto Báo; Tabata de Cavatá Souza; Raquel Yurika Tanakahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMonteiro, Daiane da RosaBáo, Ana Cristina Pretto Souza, Tabata de CavatáTanaka, Raquel Yurika2020-10-31T12:03:23Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/9094Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:31:25.619612Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false |
