Nursing action on the extravasation of chemotherapeutic agents: literature review

The chemotherapeutic agents’ administration by intravenous route consists of the systemic treatment method chosen for most malignant neoplasms, combined or not with other therapeutic agents. One of its main complications is the extravasation of anti-neoplastic agents to tissues adjacent to the cannu...

description The chemotherapeutic agents’ administration by intravenous route consists of the systemic treatment method chosen for most malignant neoplasms, combined or not with other therapeutic agents. One of its main complications is the extravasation of anti-neoplastic agents to tissues adjacent to the cannulated vessel, which may cause from swelling and patient discomfort to severe injury and necrosis, constituting a real oncology emergency in the most severe cases. Goal: Review the literature to prepare a master's degree project, which may base the professional practice and check the nurse and the team's action given an extravasation. Method: Descriptive, document study. A search was performed on the bases: Scielo and Medline with the keywords "diagnostic and therapeutic material extravasation"; "chemotherapy"; "nursing care", "antineoplastic agents and extravasation", "nursing". From the data from the first search, a master's degree research project was preparing, contemplating the preparation of a prevention protocol, identification, handling and follow-up of extravasation cases. Results: The search resulted in 10 articles, which discuss this topic in 16 years (from 2001 to 2016) and observe the need of deeper studies on this subject. Conclusion: The nursing team is responsible for searching for strategies and implementing measures to ensure to the patient a risk-free assistance and, when this side effect occurs, it promotes proper service to mitigate the damage generated.

A administração de quimioterápicos por via intravenosa consiste em modalidade de tratamento sistêmico de escolha para a maioria das neoplasias malignas, combinada ou não com outras terapêuticas. Uma de suas principais complicações é o extravasamento de agentes antineoplásicos para os tecidos adjacentes ao vaso canulado, podendo causar desde edema e desconforto ao paciente até injúria grave e necrose, constituindo verdadeira emergência oncológica nos casos de maior gravidade. Objetivo: Revisar a literatura para a elaboração de um projeto de mestrado que possa embasar a prática profissional e verificar a atuação do enfermeiro e sua equipe diante de um extravasamento. Método: Estudo descritivo, documental. Foi realizada busca nas bases: Scielo e Medline com as palavras chaves “extravasamento de materiais diagnósticos e terapêuticos”; “quimioterapia”; “cuidados de enfermagem”, “agentes antineoplásicos e extravasamento”, “enfermagem”. À partir dos dados desta primeira busca elaborado-se um projeto de pesquisa de mestrado que contempla a elaboração de um protocolo de prevenção, identificação, manejo e acompanhamento dos casos de extravasamento. Resultados: A busca resultou em 10 artigos que abordam essa temática em 16 anos (de 2001 a 2016) e observa-se a necessidade de estudos mais aprofundados neste tema. Conclusão: A equipe de enfermagem é responsável por buscar estratégias e implementar medidas que assegurem ao paciente uma assistência livre de riscos e, na ocorrência deste efeito adverso, promova atendimento adequado para minimizar os danos gerados.
