Arginine, Pressure Ulcer, Healing.Abstract
Introduction: Pressure ulcer (PU) is localized damage to the skin and / or underlying soft tissue that normally occurs in hospitalized patients with declining nutritional status and immunity. Therefore, one has, the process of impaired healing and use some immunomodulators may better this picture, such as arginine. Objective: To identify in the scientific literature the effect and mechanism of action of arginine alone or associated in the healing of PU. Material and Methods: Systematic review of the scientific literature, with searches in the databases PubMed, Trip Data Base, Scielo, Science Direct and Scopus between August 2018 and April 2019, with a temporal cut from 2008 to 2018. The following descriptors and terms were adopted arginine, pressure ulcer, healing and treatment. Results: The search resulted in 11 articles that met the criteria of the present study. These evidenced that arginine supplementation, alone or associated with antioxidant nutrients, has significant results in the treatment of LPP that lead to a considerable reduction in length of stay and hospital costs. Conclusion: The use of arginine alone or associated with antioxidant nutrients has promising effects on the healing of PU.
