Abstract
Extravasation of chemotherapy is an inappropriate infiltration of chemotherapy drugs into the subcutaneous tissues surrounding the administration site. Extravasation injury is very dangerous, increases morbidity, may be more disabling in long term and causes delayed treatment of the primary disease so prevention of extravasation is the best thing to do. Developing nursing care guidelines is considered as a step for reduction of extravasation occurrence in children receiving chemotherapy at Pediatric Hematology and Oncology Unit. These guidelines can be used for identifying, preventing, managing chemotherapy extravasation and improving the quality of care at health sectors. Hence, the aim of the present study was to design, implement intervention guidelines for prevention and management of intravenous extravasation chemotherapy and evaluate their effect on nurses’ performance.
