Area of Science:

  • Palliative Care
  • Oncology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Subcutaneous injections are frequently used for analgesia in terminally ill cancer patients.
  • Elderly patients, common in hospice care, often present with poor venous access and comorbidities complicating injections.
  • Calcification at injection sites can further impede subcutaneous administration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight potential complications associated with subcutaneous injections in hospice settings.
  • To present a case report of localized cellulitis and infection at a subcutaneous injection site.
  • To emphasize the impact of injection site complications on patient quality of life and hospice care duration.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of a 73-year-old female patient with gastric adenocarcinoma and peritoneal carcinomatosis.
  • Observation of complications arising from subcutaneous injection site.
  • Clinical assessment of infection and cellulitis development.

Main Results:

  • The patient developed localized cellulitis and infection at a subcutaneous injection site.
  • This complication led to a decline in the patient's quality of life.
  • The patient's hospice stay was extended due to the management of these complications.

Conclusions:

  • Subcutaneous injection site infections are a significant concern in elderly hospice patients.
  • Complications can negatively affect patient comfort and increase healthcare resource utilization.
  • Careful monitoring and management of subcutaneous injection sites are crucial in palliative care settings.
