Abstract

In the area of health care there is a great diversity of products for wound treatment, contributing to the difficulty of professionals in deciding which is the best option to be used. The treatment of wounds has been a field of nursing, because the procedure is going to be not just a mere exchange of curative, but a therapy based on holistic care of man. The theme of this study had origin on the perception of difficulties encountered by nursing technicians, nurses and physicians working in basic health units in this town in dealing with wounds care. This is mainly due to lack of protocols, absence of standardization of actions and procedures. . This study aimed to develop a protocol for treating chronic wounds for people attended in Basic Health Units in the municipality of Itambacuri through literature review, the databases LILACS and SciELO, with descriptors: ulcer varicose, clinical protocols and bandages. In designing the protocol, we seek to contribute to the academic and professional improvement of working in health care, so that they have a benchmark that will help them understand that the practice oriented can reduce costs and avoid iatrogenic complications in the treatment of wounds.
