Perviedade e complicações no seguimento de cateteres venosos totalmente implantáveis para quimioterapia

Abstract: CONTEXTO: A disponibilidade de acesso venoso nos pacientes que recebem cursos prolongados de terapia citotóxica é de grande importância para o sucesso do tratamento. Os cateteres totalmente implantáveis vêm sendo cada vez mais utilizados para a referida terapia, proporcionando melhoria na qualidade de vida dos doentes. OBJETIVO: Avaliar a perviedade e complicações dos cateteres venosos totalmente implantáveis instalados nos pacientes oncológicos.

“…Thus, exploring some evidence to select the best approach to teach initially during the early learning curve of the surgical training, we examined a cohort of patients who consecutively underwent CVA performed by junior residents from our department. Herein, the overall rates of successful CVA and morbidity did not significantly differ between the techniques and were found to be similar to those from other recent studies [3,4,[15][16][17][18], but interestingly, we found no significant impact by the resident learning curve on these outcomes. Because of an absolute statistically nonsignificant difference of 20% between rates from the first to the last quartile periods, we supposed these findings mainly resulted from our limited sample size, since this difference is probably important from a clinical point of view.…”

“…Vascular access to large vessels is one of the most frequent procedures performed in hospitals. The increase in the number of central venous access procedures for placement of short-or long-term catheters either in the emergency unit for acute clinical conditions or in chronic nephrology 12 or oncology patients is a reality.…”
