Dexrazoxane: a management option for anthracycline extravasations

Abstract: As nurses play a key role in the prevention, detection, and management of extravasations, they should also assume a key role in ensuring that their local protocols include all appropriate management strategies. Where appropriate, if Savene is not included in the treatment guidelines, nurses should feel empowered to encourage their trust and Specialist Commissioning Groups (SCGs) to make it available, and thus minimise the serious risks associated with anthracycline extravasations.

“…Ressalta-se que os enfermeiros, por meio da Resolução do Conselho Federal de Enfermagem (COFEN) nº 210/1998, são responsáveis pela administração de agentes quimioterápicos, devido a complexidade da administração de algumas drogas e necessidade de conhecimento aprofundado sobre os cuidados específicos relacionados a cada medicamento, as indicações e os eventos adversos da terapêutica, assim como sua notificação (3) . Neste sentido, é necessário que os enfermeiros compreendam o extravasamento como um problema resultante de múltiplos fatores, sendo a notificação, uma ferramenta de gerenciamento dos cuidados de saúde que pode contribuir para uma melhor assistência ao indivíduo com doença oncológica (4,5) . Nesta perspectiva, nota-se que as instituições de saúde estão cada vez mais preocupadas em adotar políticas que promovam o gerenciamento dos riscos relacionados a assistência à saúde e a segurança do paciente.…”
