Εξαγγείωση νεότερων αντινεοπλασματικών φαρμάκων: συχνότητα και αντιμετώπιση

Greek

Introduction. Extravasation is chemotherapy’s potential toxicity which occurs
when intravenous cytotoxic drug passes from the blood vessel into the
surrounding tissue.
Aim. This review aims at describing the differentiations in cytotoxic drugs’
classification, related to the resulting injury when they extravasate.
Moreover, it aims at describing the methods used to prevent the extravasation,
its management and its differential diagnosis from
other conditions.
Method. Electronic databases where searched, as well as the library of the
library of Athens,
in order to find books and published articles between January of 2006 and
August of 2011 in
greek and english literature. Criterion of inclusion was the relevance with the
subject and
criterion of exclusion was the inability in accessing the full text of the
articles.
Results. We found 94 articles from which the 27 were guidelines for the
extravasation, the chemotherapy and the intravenous therapy.
Conclusions. Extravasation is a rare, but serious complication of chemotherapy.
Both medinursing staff and patients should learn enough to prevent and manage
it properly. But, first of all, it should be differentiate from other
conditions, such as flare reaction, vessel irritation or a venous shock.
