OBJECTIVE
The management for malodour of malignant fungating wounds (MFWs) in head and neck cancer (HNC) is unestablished. We evaluated the effects of a novel odour transferrer on malodour generated by MFWs in patients with HNC.
METHODS
A spray-type odour transferrer approved by the Japanese government for safe use in humans produces a good scent by binding to bad odour. The odour of MFWs in 13 patients with HNC was scored by 37 medical staff and the patients' families using an odour scale ranging from 0 to 4 before and 1 week after application of the odour transferrer.
RESULTS
The odour score marked by all investigators (n=37), nurses (n=21) and doctors (n=11) decreased significantly (p<0.01). The odour score decreased by more than 2 points for 73% of all investigators after odour transferrer application.
CONCLUSION
This novel odour transferrer functions as an effective deodorant for MFWs in patients with HNC. It can be used by non-medical staff and may benefit patients with bad odours arising from MFWs as well as their families and medical staff.
目的
头颈部癌（HNC）中恶性溃疡型伤口（MFWs）的异味管理方法尚未确立。我们评估了一种新型气味转移剂对HNC患者MFWs产生的异味的影响。
方法
一种经日本政府批准可安全用于人体的喷雾型气味转移剂，通过与异味结合产生良好的气味。在使用气味转移剂之前和之后1周，由37名医护人员和患者家属使用0至4的气味量表对13例HNC患者MFWs的气味进行评分。
结果
所有调查人员（n = 37）、护士（n = 21）和医生（n = 11）给出的气味评分均显著降低（p < 0.01）。使用气味转移剂后，73%的调查人员的气味评分降低了2分以上。
结论
这种新型气味转移剂对HNC患者的MFWs起到了有效的除臭作用。非医护人员也可以使用，可能会使因MFWs产生异味的患者及其家属和医护人员受益。
