慢性溃疡性转移性皮肤病变的护理尚未得到很好的建立或研究的支持。由于这些癌性病变可能存在多年，患者及其护理人员面临着持续的敷料护理，以控制和预防气味，出血，引流和感染。本研究中的11名患者使用交叉设计比较了Mesalt敷料（Sancella Incorporated，奥克维尔，安大略，加拿大）与连续湿盐水敷料。结果表明，与连续性湿盐水敷料相比，Mesalt敷料在易于应用和气味控制方面获得了显著更高的评级，并且患者明显更喜欢。在敷料的易移除性和舒适性方面没有发现显著差异。在临床感染发生率、敷料更换次数和病变护理时间方面也没有任何显著差异。美盐敷料比连续湿盐水敷料更昂贵，但受益可能超过成本。
The care of chronic ulcerating metastatic skin lesions is not well established or supported by research. Because these cancerous lesions may be present for many years, patients and their caregivers are confronted with ongoing dressing care to control and prevent odor, bleeding, drainage, and infection. Eleven patients in this study compared Mesalt dressings (Sancella Incorporated, Oakville, Ontario, Canada) with continuous wet saline dressings using a crossover design. Results indicated that Mesalt dressings received significantly higher ratings when compared with continuous wet saline dressings for ease of application and odor control and were significantly preferred by patients. No significant differences were found for ease of removal and comfort of the dressing. Neither were there any significant differences in the occurrence of clinical infection, number of dressing changes, and time spent for the care of the lesion. Mesalt dressings were more expensive than continuous wet saline dressings, but benefits may outweigh the costs.
