Maintaining skin integrity plays a key role in the ongoing care and comfort of patients at the end of life. Unfortunately, patients receiving cancer treatments are at higher risk of altered skin integrity. Cancer treatments involve multiple modalities, all of which impair wound healing. Excess exudate can be distressing to patients, resulting in catastrophic damage to the wound bed and surrounding skin, reducing quality of life and increasing the need for specialist services. This article describes the use of the Kliniderm foam silicone range of dressings, in combination with best practice, in the treatment of wounds in the oncology setting. The case study evidence presented indicates that this range of dressings is useful in the management of radiotherapy and oncology wounds. It had a positive effect on the exudate level, wound-association pain and the peri-wound skin in these patients, aiding the management of the wound bed.
维护皮肤完整性对于临终关怀患者的持续护理和舒适至关重要。不幸的是，接受癌症治疗的患者皮肤完整性改变的风险更高。癌症治疗涉及多种方式，所有这些方式都会损害伤口愈合。过多的渗出物会给患者带来痛苦，导致伤口床和周围皮肤灾难性的损伤，降低生活质量，并增加对专科服务的需求。本文介绍了 Kliniderm 泡沫硅酮系列敷料的使用，结合最佳实践，在肿瘤学环境中治疗伤口。提出的病例研究证据表明，该系列敷料在放疗和肿瘤伤口的管理中是有用的。它对这些患者的渗出物水平、伤口相关疼痛和伤口周围皮肤有积极影响，有助于伤口床的管理。
