    Introducción las úlceras suponen un importante problema de salud cuya prevalencia más alta suele darse en la unidad de cuidados intensivos, debido a la reducida movilidad, uso frecuente de fármacos vasoactivos y el elevado tiempo de ingreso. En los últimos años se ha propuesto el uso del aceite de oliva en dichas úlceras.

    Objetivo revisar la información sobre la eficacia de la aplicación de aceite de oliva tópica en las úlceras cutáneas.

    Métodos se realiza una búsqueda en bases de datos de Pubmed, Scopus, Cinahl y Central siguiendo las recomendaciones PRISMA 2020. Se seleccionan estudios realizados en los últimos 10 años, en español o inglés, con texto completo y de alta calidad.

    Resultados los resultados muestran la efectividad del aceite de oliva solo y en combinación con aloe vera frente a la atención estándar. El número total de participantes fue de 1.522. La duración del programa fue de 4 semanas y la frecuencia de administración osciló entre 12 y 24 horas.

    Conclusiones la aplicación tópica de aceite de oliva en el tratamiento de úlceras del pie diabético, úlceras por presión y úlceras venosas, así como la prevención de úlceras por presión en el paciente de riesgo es eficaz y segura.

    Introduction Ulcers are an important health problem whose highest prevalence usually occurs in the intensive care unit, due to reduced mobility, frequent use of vasoactive drugs and long hospitalization time. In recent years, the use of olive oil in said ulcers has been proposed.

    Objective To review the information on the efficacy of the application of topical olive oil in skin ulcers.

    Methods A search was carried out in Pubmed, Scopus, Cinahl, and Central databases following the PRISMA 2020 recommendations. Studies carried out in the last ten years, in Spanish or English, with full text and high quality, were selected.

    Results The results show the effectiveness of olive oil alone and in combination with aloe vera compared to standard care. The total number of participants was 1,522. The duration of the program was 4 weeks, and the frequency of administration ranged from 12-24 hours.

    Conclusions The topical application of olive oil in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers and venous ulcers; as well as the prevention of pressure ulcers in patients at risk is effective and safe.
