- Abstract
This study has for objective to identify the occurrence of extravasation of chemotherapeutic agents reported in a university hospital in the countryside of the State of São Paulo. A cross-sectional, retrospective study (2013 to 2015) of a quantitative approach. Data collection occurred through the analysis of notifications in the electronic system generated by three hospital sectors that administer chemotherapy. There were included notifications of patients under chemotherapy aged above 18, in the period from January 1st, 2013 to December 31st, 2015. We identified 33 notifications of extravasation by chemotherapeutic agents. The drugs extraverted more occurrences were the Fluouroracil (33.3%) and Paclitaxel (18.2%) and the reactions more presented were edema (48.5%), pain (12.1%), and hypersensitivity (9.1%). The first handling was the immediate interruption of infusion (81.8%), followed by the aspiration of residual medication and use of cold compress (54.5%). Only 21.2% of the patients received follow-up. It was observed that the notifications submitted incomplete data, in addition to possible underreporting, making evident the importance of training of nursing professionals to improve the quality of being.
