“…Based on our survey, it appears that patient education is an area that requires more emphasis because inadequate care of VAD by the patient can result in significant infection and thrombotic complications [7].…”

Our study demonstrated that there are similarities in the utilization of VAD but also wide differences in the standard procedures for the insertion and care of VAD in the transplant setting. More comprehensive studies are needed to assess the use of central venous catheters in transplant recipients. Important areas for future research include the impact of VAD utilization on the quality of life of transplant recipients and the final consequences of VAD complications.

“…One is the failure to carry out medical advice, a well-known but difficult to understand phenomenon (Bebbington, 1995) that affects patients in all areas of health care (Trick, 1993). This is a problem that affects all specialities: for example in endocrinology, especially in the field of diabetes (Kavanagh et al 1993;Bowman & Konen, 1995;Seley, 1993); in weight control programs (Prochaska et al 1992); in orthopaedics (Wildner, 1995); ophthalmology (Spaeth, 1995); oncology (McDermott, 1995); respiratory medicine (Bosley et al 1995;Spierings & Miree, 1993); neurology (Amari et at. 1995;Spierings & Miree, 1993); general medicine (Claydon & Efron, 1994;Steiner & Vetter, 1994a;Steiner & Vetter, 1994b); and geriatrics (Wolf-Klein et al 1989).…”

“…Sterilization and anti-spesia techniques are considered important interventions to prevent against infection. Recent studies mention chlorexedine as preferred, given the incidence of infections be 50% lower, when compared to PVP-I, due to the stronger residual action, restricting skin (34)(35)(36) re-colonization. Referring patients perception related to the catheter, besides the corporeal image after the device implantation, patients present good acceptance of the catheter, with positive challenge facing attitude (25)(26) .…”

Totally implanted catheter, which is effective in deceasing complications related to peripheral intravenous therapy, is widely used in patients with cancer. Thus, the goal of this study was to identify the nursing actions regarding the manipulation and management of totally implanted catheter in patients with cancer. An integrative literature review was conducted. A final sample of 15 articles was evaluated. Findings indicated that nursing actions are directed to the catheter dwelling time, the catheter-related complications, the manipulation and management of the catheter, the patients' perception of the catheter, and the education of patients regarding the catheter care. These findings show the complexities of nursing actions regarding the management of totally implanted catheters. In addition, the findings can be useful for professionals who do not work in oncology who may need to apply this knowledge in their clinical practice. Keywords: Catheterization, central venous; Maintenance; Nursing care RESUMO O cateter totalmente implantado é amplamente utilizado durante o tratamento de pacientes com câncer e é capaz de minimizar complicações decorrentes da terapia intravenosa periférica. Assim, buscou-se identificar os cuidados de enfermagem relacionados ao manuseio de cateter totalmente implantado nesses pacientes. Para tanto, realizou-se revisão integrativa da literatura que resultou na análise de 15 artigos. O conhecimento produzido está direcionado para o tempo de permanência do cateter, complicações inerentes ao uso, manuseio do dispositivo, percepção do paciente em relação ao cateter e informações ao paciente. Além de demonstrar a complexidade da assistência de enfermagem no manuseio desses dispositivos, os achados podem auxiliar, igualmente, os profissionais que não atuam em oncologia, na aplicação de conhecimentos na prática clínica.
