Objectives: To develop an algorithm for evaluation and treatment of wounds and to test their internal reliability. Method: Crosssectional and descriptive study. For the construction of the algorithm, a review of the literature was realized with databases of health sciences and consultation of books and theses of this area published in the last 10 years, using as descriptors: acute and chronic wounds; wound evaluation; evaluation tools; dressings; nursing evaluation; wound healing and nursing care; and algorithms. Two hundred nurses with at least 12 months of experience in wound care were contacted and 38 of them completed the evaluation questionnaire. The internal consistency of the algorithm was measured by Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Results: All items evaluated had a "excellent" classification, being: graphic presentation (52.65%), readability (60.5%), sequence of the algorithm (52.6%), description of wound types (56.8%), description of tissue types (52.6%), presentation of types of exudate (57.9%), presentation of signs of infection (57.9%) and products to be used in dressing (50%). The algorithm presented excellent internal consistency (α = 0.911). According to 97.4% of the evaluations, the instrument is able to support health professionals in wounds evaluation. Conclusion:The algorithm showed internal reliability for evaluation and treatment of wounds.

“…A escolha de diferentes coberturas para prevenção e tratamento de lesões cutâneas exige dos profissionais de saúde conhecimentos técnicos e científicos relacionados à fisiologia, anatomia, eficácia/efetividade e custo-benefício das coberturas inovadoras existentes no mercado. (3,27) Dois algoritmos foram construídos e validados para conteúdo visando contribuir no gerenciamento e uniformização da assistência de enfermagem ao paciente com lesão por fricção, direcionar a conduta e apoiar a decisão do profissional de saúde envolvido na prevenção e tratamento dessa população.…”

“…A pele é o maior órgão do corpo e está sujeita a agressões oriundas de fatores patológicos intrínsecos e extrínsecos que podem causar o desenvolvimento de alterações na sua constituição como, por exemplo, lesões por pressão, queimaduras, ulcerações traumáticas, dermatites e lesão por fricção, entre outras, e levar à incapacidade funcional e a mudanças na qualidade de vida dos indivíduos. (1)(2)(3) As feridas são eventos comuns no cotidiano dos serviços de atenção à saúde, sendo as mais frequentes a lesão por pressão, úlceras diabéticas, úlceras venosas e lesão por fricção, tornando-se um problema de saúde pública. A presença dessas lesões afeta negativamente a qualidade de vida de indivíduos e de seus familiares, e suas altas taxas de incidência, especialmente na população idosa, provocam impacto econômico na área da saúde.…”

Clinical & Investigative Dermatologya median time to ulcer healing of 99 days with 2-layer compression therapy. In addition, more than a quarter fail to heal completely and the 12-month recurrence rate of healed venous leg ulcers may be up to 28%. Patients with longstanding, large ulcers, or who have a prior history of ulceration, are particularly resistant to healing [6].Th ere are various treatment options for venous ulcers. Th ese include conservative management, mechanical treatment, medications, and surgical options. Evidence rating a key recommendation includes compression therapy, bandages and Pentoxifylline [2]. Compression assists by reducing venous hypertension, enhancing venous return and reducing peripheral edema. However, studies show that it only has moderate eff ects on healing, with up to 50% of venous leg ulcers unhealed aft er two years of compression. Non-adherence may be the principal cause of these poor results, but presence of infl ammation in people with chronic venous insuffi ciency may be another factor, so a treatment that suppresses infl ammation and reduces the frequency of ulcer recurrence would be an invaluable intervention to complement compression treatments [7].Aspirin is a cyclooxygenase inhibitor that irreversibly reduces prostaglandin-2 and thromboxane A2, which are involved in infl ammation and platelet aggregation. It is inexpensive, widely used and readily available. Th e mechanism by which aspirin may hasten healing of VLUs is unclear but may be associated with a reduction of infl ammation, or its eff ect on the microvascular circulation, including platelet activation. In one study investigating the haemostatic eff ects of aspirin in patients with VLU, the investigators demonstrated that participants were found to have increased levels of fi brinogen and shortened coagulation rate, when compared to age-matched and sexmatched controls and that treatment with aspirin caused prolongation of the coagulation rate, which increased the rate of ulcer healing [6].Venous leg ulcers impair Quality of Life (QoL); they are open wounds, which can be large, are oft en painful, frequently become infected and leak exudate. It has signifi cant health economic burden. Th ere is, therefore, an unmet need for a more cost-eff ective and clinically eff ective treatment for VLUs.Whereas the venous leg ulcer is usually originated by external trauma, the course is oft en chronic and/or relapsing [3]. Many venous leg ulcers take over 6 months to heal; one large study demonstrated
