Varicose Ulcer
Conditions
Interventions
Patients who will apply the dressing and accept to participate in the study will undergo two cleanings, one with warm saline and the other with saline at room temperature, with an interval of 10 minut
Group 2: cleaning solution at room temperature, followed by cleaning with heated solution (39°C). The groups will be randomized by drawing lots with sealed envelopes in which the order of cleaning is

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| There was no statistically significant difference in the level of pain before cleaning and after using the solutions at different temperatures, as measured by the numerical pain scale (mean score - baseline: 1.91; score after cleaning with warmed saline 2.03; score after cleaning with warm saline solution 2.03; after cleaning 2.25 ambient serum with a P value greater than 0.05. ;The heated solution was the preferred and most comfortable solution, with the direct questioning of which solution was preferred and which was more comfortable, whether for the first or second cleaning (p minor than 0.05). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| During data collection for controls, it was noticed that the temperature of the wounds was influenced by the order of randomization of cleaning, while there was no influence on the temperature of the wound bed before and after cleaning with different temperatures (baseline: 35.5 °C versus after heated solution 35.7°C; p equals 0.155) and in group B (baseline: 35.5°C versus ambient solution 35.5°C; p equals 0.486) | — |
