ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION: Pressure ulcers constitute an important health problem due to their frequency, chronic nature, economic costs and a reduction in the quality of Ufe in patients hospitalized in special care units. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The aim of the study was to evalúate the epithelializing and analgesic effect of sevoflurane applied topically in uninfected grade l-lll pressure ulcers of hospitalized patients. The type of study was Randomized Clinical Tríal. A total of 16 patients were included in the study and were randomly divided into 2 groups: group A (8 patients), in which the cure was performed with topical sevoflurane plus povidone iodine, and group B (8 patients) only with povidone iodine. The evaluation of the evolution of the ulcer was performed using the PUSH Scale, which assesses suríace área, amount of exúdate and type ofbed tissue. RESULTS: During the healing, the pain manifested by the members of Group A (1.6 ± 0.7), was much lower than that observed in Group B (7.2 ± 1). No significant differences were found on the suríace of the ulcer and in the amount of exúdate; Ifa significant difference was found in the type o f tissue existing in the ulcer bed, in Group A patients the presence of epithelial and granulation tissue was evidenced starting the third week of treatment, which, in Group A patients B, was observed staríing the fouríh week.
