Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 1: Increased healing of venous ulcers, verified by assessing the area of the lesion in the photographic record during follow-up and by evaluating specialists based on the observation of a complete healing in the pre- and post- intervention.;Outcome found 1: Increased healing of venous ulcers, verified by assessing the area of the lesion in the photographic record during follow-up and by evaluating specialists based on the observation of a reduction in the area of the lesion in the pre- and post- intervention. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 1: Decrease in necrosis tissue, verified by assessing the presence of tissues in the lesion after the removal of primary coverage from the finding of complete absence or reduction of the proportion in relation to the total area of the lesion in the pre and post-intervention.;Outcome found 1: Decrease in necrosis tissue, verified by assessing the presence of tissues in the lesion after the removal of primary coverage from the finding of complete absence or reduction of the proportion in relation to the total area of the lesion in the pre and post-intervention.;Expected outcome 2: Decrease in edema, verified by assessing the presence of edema in the entire injured limb registered with the cross symbol (+), after the removal of the primary coverage from the finding of complete absence or partial reduction in measurements pre and post-intervention.;Outcome found 2: Decrease in edema, verified by assessing the presence of edema in the entire injured limb registered with the cross symbol (+), after the removal of the primary coverage from the finding of complete absence or partial reduction in measurements pre and post-intervention.;Expected outcome 3: Decrease in pain, verified before the start of each intervention based on the reduction of scores on the Visual Analogue Scale (scores from 0 to 10, where: 0 no pain and 10 worst possible pain) in the pre and post-intervention measurements.;Outcome found 3: Decrease in pain, verified before the start of each intervention based on the reduction of scores on the Visual Analogue Scale (scores from 0 to 10, where: 0 no pain and 10 worst possible pain) in the pre and post-intervention measurements.;Expected outcome 4: Decreased exudation, verified by observing the amount of secretion present in the gauze and the lesion after the removal of the primary cover, based on the reduction of scores (0 is none; 1 is scarce; 2 is moderate; 3 abundant) in pre- and post-intervention measurements.;Outcome found 4: Decreased | — |
