- Abstract
Objective: To describe the evidence available in the literature about the knowledge and practices of subcutaneous fluid administration in cancer patients. Methodology: Integrative literature review, using the keywords nursing, hypodermoclysis, subcutaneous therapy, and cancer; in English, Portuguese and Spanish, with no publication deadline. Of the 160 articles found, 11 comprised the sample. Results: Of these articles, 54% (n = 6) were published in the English language, 63% (n = 7) were published in the last five years. Among them, 81% (n = 9) are classified with the level of evidence six because they are observational studies or reports of experiences, while two studies are literature reviews. As for the main subject of the studies, most research points to the use of the subcutaneous route in patients under palliative care at home. Conclusion: In this research, it was possible to know hypodermoclysis, its indications, purposes, advantages, and disadvantages, concluding, from the studies analyzed, that this route of administration of fluids and/or drugs is a possibility of use in cancer patients, with an emphasis on palliative care patients.
