The 36th Japanese Nursing Association Compendium: “Deodorization effects of ozone products against unpleasant cancer odor.”
Abstract:
The last stage of a human life is a crucial period for people and their family. Various approaches are being used to study the way people want to spend their last moments, including palliative care. In this study, we succeeded in drastically reducing the unpleasant cancer odor of a patient who had long been bothered by it by using ozone gel and ozone water. The treatment also cleansed the surface of the ulcer, suggesting that ozone gel might positively contribute to endstage medicine. This treatment suppressed the unpleasant odor and cleansed the patient’s body in her last stage, indicating that ozone gel might help people to spend their twilight years with dignity. With the hope of helping such patients, we intend to accelerate the development of medical products containing ozone gel and make them accessible as soon as possible. This case report summarizes an article presented at the 36th Japanese Nursing Association Compendium–General Nursing published by the Japanese Nursing Association on November 24, 2005.
