Effectiveness of laser therapy in healing grade II and III pressure ulcers in patients
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2019-12-01) Caldas Castañeda, Marina Glory; Arevalo Marcos, Rodolfo Amado
Objective: Systematize the evidence on the effectiveness of the application of laser therapy in the healing of grade II and III pressure ulcers in patients. Material and Methods: Systematic review using the Grade evaluation system to identify the level of evidence, found in the following databases: PubMed, Scielo, Bvs, Cochrane, Lilacs, Medline bireme, Google Scholar. Likewise, of the total articles, 60% are systematic reviews, 30% are randomized controlled trials and 10% are controlled clinical trials. According to the Quality of Evidence found, 100% is High and the strength of recommendation is Strong. They come from the countries of Brazil (60%), the United States (10%), Poland (10%), England (10%) and Egypt (10%). Results: Results: They indicate that the application of laser therapy is 100% effective in healing grade II and III pressure ulcers in patients. Conclusion: The reviews demonstrate that the use of laser therapy at different wavelengths is 100% effective in healing grade II and III pressure ulcers, of which laser therapy at low wavelengths is 90% more effective. while 10% confirm the effectiveness of high wavelength laser therapy.

Effectiveness of laser vaporization technique versus transurethral resection of the prostate for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia in elderly patients
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2017-12-03) Guzmán Rodríguez, Fiorella; Montesinos Benites, Stefanie Pamela; Matta Solis, Hernán Hugo
Objective: To evaluate the evidence on the efficacy of laser vaporization versus transurethral resection of the prostate for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia in elderly patients. Materials and Methods: This is a systematic review that synthesizes the results of multiple primary studies. The sample is based on a review of 10 scientific articles published in the scientific databases LILACS, SCIELO, LIPECS, EPISTEMONIKOS, and the Cochrane Review, with the primary focus on the efficacy of laser vaporization versus transurethral resection of the prostate for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia in elderly patients. Among the 10 pieces of evidence, 40% (4/10) were systematic reviews, 20% (2/10) were randomized prospective studies, 10% (1/10) was a meta-analysis, 10% (1/10) was a randomized trial, 10% (1/10) was a retrospective observational cohort study, and 10% (1/10) was a randomized clinical trial. Results: 80% of the articles found indicate that laser vaporization is an effective technique, while 20% mention that it is equally as effective as transurethral resection of the prostate, though they suggest continued patient evaluation at hospital discharge. Conclusion: Laser vaporization is more effective than transurethral resection of the prostate because it reduces hospital stay by 70%, bleeding by 80%, catheterization time by 80%, the need for blood transfusion by 70%, and pain by 70% in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia in elderly patients.
