Description

Intravenous infusion is the main mode of administration of anti-cancer drugs for most types of malignant disorders, with a number that exceeds 1 million infusions every day worldwide.Aim: The purpose of this paper is to: Identify complications of intravenous chemotherapy administration in peripheral veins - extravasation, assessment of basic UCCK nursing knowledge regarding these complications, and assessment of the knowledge of patients undergoing chemotherapy in Oncology Clinic related to extravagance.Material and Methods: To carry out this research we are based on the empirical method. Empirical data (nurses 'and patients' experiences) are analyzed quantitatively. Through quantitative research, data was collected from nurses and patients by applying a standardized approach where questionnaires were used, and where nurses and patients represented the sample from the general population.Results: Research findings find that most nurses have clear that all extravagances should not be treated with the same steps and procedures (51%) because there are different forms of this complication. They make it clear that all cytotoxic extravagances can be prevented if proper education is provided.Discussion: In our country, there is no accurate evidence of extravasation due to chemotherapy because they do not register and do not appear. What is the prevalence of extravagance and how much the burden it makes for Kosovo's health is not studied in any work in Kosovo. One of the reasons is also insufficient information on what is, how it is and how to react when this complication occurs.Conclusions: Extravasation is a concern for all health care providers who administer chemotherapy. Extravagance is more common in peripheral administration, but can also occur with central access approaches. Extravasation is the unintentional infiltration of the drug into the surrounding tissues, the consequences of which will depend on the herb that is administered.
