Özet
Pressure ulcers are a common problem in intensive care unit (ICU). Recently, topical sevoflurane has been used especially for treatment of venous ulcers and infected skin ulcers. We present a case of topical sevoflurane treatment of a pressure ulcer. Treatment was applied for one month without any antibiotic supplementation. After one month, the ulcer size was decreased, necrotic tissues were cleared, and wound cultures were negative. There are three beneficial effects of local sevoflurane treatment: good analgesic action, antibiotic effects, and acceleration of wound healing. These beneficial effects may make sevoflurane an alternative treatment for pressure ulcers in an ICU. © 2019 Informatics Publishing Limited. All rights reserved.
