“…• chronic venous ulcers usually present with pain at rest and a limited cicatrisation • thirty patients older than 65 with painful refractory chronic venous ulcers have been treated with topical sevoflurane • topical sevoflurane has a fast, intense and long-lasting analgesic effect; it improves the ulcer-healing process and has an adequate safety profile of general anaesthesia in hospital and ambulatory surgery (14). Its efficacy has been reported in a few case reports as a topical anaesthetic in leg ulcers (15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23). Our purpose is to assess the efficacy and safety of topical sevoflurane in CVU and its impact on analgesia and healing.…”

“…La irrigación de sevoflurano tópico sobre heridas se ha mostrado muy segura para el paciente, pues en ninguna de aplicaciones anteriormente citadas ha sido comunicado ningún efecto adverso sistémico (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14). Esto puede ser debido a que la mayoría de estas aplicaciones se han realizado en dosis pequeñas (hasta 20 ml) y sobre heridas crónicas de etiología vascular, en las que la perfusión sanguínea está deteriorada, por lo que es factible suponer que la absorción a la circulación del sistema venoso se realiza lentamente y las presiones parciales sanguíneas de sevoflurano serán bajas.…”

“…A diferencia de los efectos sistémicos, sí se han comunicado efectos locales no deseados con la aplicación de sevoflurano, concretamente sensación de prurito; este efecto es bastante frecuente, especialmente en la piel perilesional, pero suele ser bien tolerado y no motiva a los pacientes a rechazar el tratamiento (3,(6)(7)(8)(9)11). Como ha sido mencionado anteriormente, esta acción irritativa también ha sido descrita con las aplicaciones de éter (25,30,31).…”
