    Systematize the evidence on the effectiveness of the use of hydrocolloid dressings in the treatment of pressure ulcers in patients in the intensive care unit. Methodology: Systematic Review, 10 articles were chosen, which were studied, of which 70% are systematic reviews and meta-analysis, mainly in the countries of the United States and China, and 30% are cross-sectional analytical studies that were developed in the countries from Brazil, Spain and Peru Results: Of the articles studied, 70% show that products for the treatment of UPPs based on cure in a humid environment such as hydrocolloids have greater clinical efficacy than traditional treatment in the intensive care unit.Conclusion: The results of the review we have carried out show the existence of evidence in favor of the greater clinical effectiveness of dressings based on healing in a humid environment in the healing of pressure ulcers, lower overall cost and They are changed every three to five days, although they can remain in situ for up to seven days. And they are less effective than polyurethane foam (hydropolymer) dressings since they have a greater capacity for absorbing exudate and are easier to apply. removal than hydrocolloid dressings.
